Its ideal when they're being told what to develop, how, and having their specific duties listed. Rather than them doing so; freely.

Ex. Tim_Rocks.

It's my personal opinion that what needs to be done is specified and prioritised. If the team members just do what they feel is important then that's not really managing a team at all. Though I'm not criticising anybody there since I'm not full aware on the under-the-hood processes of Era development.

The fact that the team is composed of volunteers does not mean it's hard nor wrong to instill a level of structure to the development process either. People volunteer for, say, the British Heart Foundation and it still manages to be an organised, well, organisation.
