I don't mean to be obtuse, but how does the bot project more easily share their infrastructure and community due to the presence of the project? You see, I'm trying to learn how these things work. I did not meaning to suggest that a bot developer should avoid the bots project. I just want to understand how projects work and when I should consider creating a new one. <br>

</div>The bots project already has <i>infrastructure built</i> and has a community<br>
that works on improving it. If you start a new project, you have to<br>
start from scratch, and don't benefit from the work of others, unless<br>
they join your project.<br>
