Nice post, needs some improvement, but it's a great start.
Learning to script is not an easy thing, and mantaining a project is not easy either.
Don't abandon projects just because you don't recieve support, as ****** said on a topic (not this one),
support is the last thing you will recieve.

You can be questioned, criticized and insulted, but don't loose 'your lines'. If you know what you are doing, have confidence, and don't hear to people, unless they have a valid statement.

Instead of being a lone-wolf, your community is the most important part of your staff, as I said previously, treat your community (support) as gold.

Discuss features with them, and evaluate every single line they suggest, try to please them, it's not "your" script, it's "our" (the community's) script.

And please, when you are hiring people, don't hire him on popularity, base him on maturity, productivity and activity.

Again, nice topic.
