Nougat,

I hoped that a few stray enthusiasts would find their way to kbin

They did. "A few" as a portion of the whole, where the whole is much larger than you ever expected it would be.

One thing I have learned in my own technical career is that you can't do everything. Even if there was enough time in a day for you to do everything, you can't know everything, at least not sufficiently enough to be most effective. You have to depend on other experts, and delegate to them what you are not qualified to do. This requires a pretty high level of trust, and makes it so that you need to develop people management skills.

Lots of technical people are short on people management skills. I don't know where you sit on that spectrum, but you may need to consider bringing on an "overseer," kind of like a project manager, to keep tabs on all of the technical resources involved - yourself included. This will help ensure that concerns are prioritized appropriately, and that communication and messaging about those priorities are consistent and clear.

I've been in that kind of position, and I take a bit of pride in my use of words. I'm happy to give any advice you like.
