Don't think about them now. Our primary goal for now is to get a working 
technical Server/client/renderer environment. Because if we attract people 
and they see that so many things are still not working we might loose them 
for a long time again. SO I would currently really focus on getting the 
basics to work not only a little bit, but almost perfect. If we try this we 
still have enough new bugs as soon as we get a lot more people.

It's all this little things (not only servercode). For example make good 
descriptions on how to use a TomTom as a logging device. This means these 
descriptions have to be tested by people normally not doing computer stuff 8 
hours a day.
