I would totally contribute to that as well as playtest it (check my new signature !). The problem with many open-source game projects is they're like Wesnoth or Freeciv - they believe things like "Keep It Simple, Stupid". As a result they don't do anything new, only safe, proven ideas.
Plain chicken with rice excites no one. I would love to have a MOM-like project which is more like Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

I don't think there have been many
open-source Master of Magic projects. Of course closed-source, hobby Master Of Magic projects die. They try in vain to reinvent the wheel. They don't share their work. So if one person loses motivation others can't benefit from earlier achievements.
