I'm actually trying to find something that most everyone in the community would know about, that way people might want to contribute more ideas into it...
I'd imagine a totally unique mod would be more difficult to organize, because there's less common ground to work off of; the only reference for everyone to use is what the leader can communicate. If I say "make a TIE fighter", we'd know what a TIE fighter is, what it looks like, how big it is, etc. Something that will be generally agreed upon.
I'd think a unique mod like N.O., or IVI's post apoc mod might work best best just being a personal mod, since you won't need to communucate all of unique ideas. But as for a large community mod it might be best to work off of stuff that people already know.
I could be wrong

. If you think it would be better to go oddball (I think I might like that too, personally...), then yea we can do that. Even if you want to be the one to head it up, I don't mind, and you'd really make a better leader than me on this anyways. Or both of us

The main goal is just to get everyone to agree as much as possible, to encourage participation, to keep the mod alive.
