Been there, yup.

Ultimately, I noticed when I took the plunge when the game was 'RP Ready' (due to the type of game I'm running) that it gave me more enthusiasm to know my work was being used, abused, and tested very quickly. Once again, I had the advantage of having several people interested first thing. I could also utilize the brainpower of my early playerbase to work on theme or answer thematic questions that were important but I had not previously thought about.

Another thing is to know your limitations and bring in people who can shore up those weaknesses. I'm mostly a coder. I have decent background in the other aspects of administration, but I brought on a 'copy editor' that goes over my help files, posts, rules and the like to clear them up and remove the 'coder jargon' from them. I also have the advantage of said files having a consistent look when they're done.
