Agreed. I think the frenzy that ensues after announcing a project because people want a chance to get on the list and if they don't sign up immediately is what caused some of the issues in the last project. I really liked the suggestion of announcing the project, then giving it a couple days so people can actually give it some consideration and then saying "Sign ups will begin on such and such a day at such and such a time." Then people who know they REALLY, after considered thought, want to sign up--they can. And there's not a mad dash just to get on the list.

Also--IMHO after that point--if you don't make it on the list in time, you don't make it on the list. It always seems nice to let one more person join, but if you let one person join, then you have to let the next person join, and so on. If you sign up thinking you'll be doing X amount of whatever--the addition of a few more people might actually make a difference for some people.
