well that really depends on who wants to help out. we have no clear direction at the moment, and no clear list of developers who would be willing to work on a graal revival-type project. it's going to work better if a competent, well known developer would lead the project, because then other developers would feel more comfortable and confident about the project, rather than just some person starting a project and then begging developers to join it (which is what typically happens)
there is also the problem of the current servers being worked on. not many people are going to be willing to leave their projects to start another one, even if it has the intention of bringing graal back - it wastes all the work they already worked on, and just taking their work with them means screwing over the other developers. i honestly think it should be someone from the PWA leading the project, or someone from some global group. they have better resources, a wider range of abilities (we hope, since they are apart of the global team), and they can't, by nature of their job, really be working on a specific server job. in addition, they are well known in the community which makes the project seem more legit
for instance, if i heard that tig was starting a project, and people like galdor, aeko, draenin, zero hour, crono, skyld, or any other well known developer were helping out, we could all feel more secure about the project actually reaching fruition, especially if it were an open-ended idea with the ability to make comments on, and input into the project (at least it would make me happier)
