As someone who has worked on a total conversion mod single-handedly for most of 3 years, I can say that this idea does not work. Oh yes, you'd see a ton of people clamoring "I'll help! I can do it!" but really, you'd get lucky if 1 person out of a 100 actually stick around and help for the long haul (and I did get one! But only 1 during 3 years!). Let me clarify the example: the part I needed help is not even that hard. I needed help fixing my grammar mistakes in the unit descriptions and maybe some sugar-coating on the sentences to make it more authentic sounding. I've had almost a dozen volunteers at different times. The most one of them ever did was 10 entries. 10 out of 200. It's a part of modding that doesn't require any modding skill at all, only the diligence and persistence of writing 200 entries (which I did). Not many people got the stomach to do these kinds of tasks, with the less glamor (aka. no fans will e-worship you because of snazzy sentences like they'd do to unit models).

Your best bet is do a recruiting/help drive. Make a detailed post on the big forums, as in this one and TWC, about the condition of the mod, and what parts you still need help at. Do it with snazzy graphics. What you want is not to get new modders, but old ones who has a little spare time to help with something. I know old modders like me would hate to see mods like this get pushed down into obscurity. But that will only happen if no one is constantly pushing the whole thing forward.

Heck, if you actually need help with unit models, either modeling or UV mapping, I can spare some time to help.
