Of course, you can't protect a project from failing. But i do believe, that at least some safety-mechanisms can- and often should be aggreed on - and that (at a psychological level) it more often than not just depends on explicitly addressing certain bottom-line motivations, methods (well, ideals too). Now i guess (with as little experience as i've got) idealism is both OK and dangerous, it's OK as long as not all of it has to be aggreed on, just sharing a modus-operandi and (kind of) understanding one another should do. To my mind, afiliation with other groups (like-minded, with similar quality-standards) can help - solidarity is better than lone idealism.
