Just some of them off the top of my head.

yikes. here's my generic take on some of those issues.

motivation/commitment: those are effects rather than causes, imo. a thriving community will keep contributors coming back.

exclusiveness/elitism: pretty hard to make this problem disappear. every community will have its standards. diversity of notechart style, skill level, etc. should be encouraged, but it's tough to actually mandate this kind of thing.

abuse of power: sounds interesting. can I get an example? haha.
