Yes, but each actual member has chosen its part.
New components need new people, because we can't do(assist) them all. We have our own stuff to improve.
Each of us who has joined this project became an important part of the his team and in time managed to have their opinion count. Same could happen to new people if we let them! After a time in which they will be assisted by us, we no longer need to care if they do things right.

- it takes a lot of discussion to create those and show the path into our future;

Do you know HTML? How about XML?
I don't. I bet that there is something that you don't know also. It's impossible to know them all.
People will join that team because they know something, and in time under some supervision they will became men/women to count on.

we don't have the resources right now to do such a thing, I'd think. 

    We, the team, no.
        It's not hard to find good people in this community.

IOW if someone develops something like this now, we won' stop him, but there can't be any guaranty that we can make use of that stuff later on, too. 

    Why is that?

If someone is willing to spend resources on our project, he should do it now in our current scope. 

    And... what should it do?
Kernel?: not at everyone's hand.
App_kit: ready.
Interface_kit: 85% ready. No place left.
Support_kit: ready.
Mail_kit: ready.
Game_kit: almost ready. No place left.
BFS+Storage_kit: ready. almost ready. No place left.
Translation_kit: ready.(?) That's what I remember.
network_kit: almost ready. no place left.
media kit: almost ready. add-on phase. Any place left? Don't think so.
print_server: advanced state.
input_server: ready.
registrar: ready.
app_server: 5 people working. No place left.
drivers: enough. not at everyone's hand.

What else is there left to be assigned? I am *really* curious?

Why is it that I don't see any: XXX_kit/server help wanted in this list? I'll tell you: there are no more places to be assigned!
