1. A large group of people will never agree on the same logic, ideas, strategy.
2. Some people will work harder than others, some will bring more of value to the table. Some will do very little. The people doing most of the work will get frustraited.
3. Not many people will want to do extra work for free, especially when so many of us are busy.
4. Everyone will have a voice, no one leader calling the shots. It will be a cluster fuck for clashing egos.
Best bet you can do is hire 5 - 10 of the best people here to be a consultant so they can bring their knowledge to the table. hire another 5-10 people who are workers. You run the show, you decide what you want built. They consult/build it. They are paid a nominal fee + they get a small profit share. You retain 51% ownership, and you pay everything and call the shots taking into account their thoughts.
That is the ONLY way you going to get 10 - 20 people here to work together and it have any chance of being successful.

I do believe you're probably right. There's only room for 1 leader usually.
It's funny - with stuff like coops/partnerships, I generally have no qualms with going along with whatever people want to do unless they're like absolutely the shittiest ideas I've ever heard, and I don't believe how often that seems to happen from people that before the fact seemed like decent non-retarded people.
