Don't worry about it man. Like some have already mentioned, if you want the project to continue to live, you might have to stay with them for a while to manage the process, then appoint some people to take care of running it after that.
If it's really good and you can't stay, people will just take it and modify it themselves to fit their needs, or some people might feel similar feelings towards it and decide to work together to continue working on it.
Either way, I think it's better to upload it than to simply forget about it; You might not have a life, but not uploading it and forgetting about it would mean that all those years were a waste of time and was ultimately a failure, is that how you want to remember it?
I worked on The Instagib Project on my own for about a year, but the entire time I created documentation, forums, articles, tutorials, and a wiki for it. The Subversion was public so people could check out the code. I stopped working on it though because I got tired of it (Few people were interested in it, then again it could be that very few knew about it). The entire site has been inactive ever since (Like I said, it was all me, with the occasional passer-by awing at the game, then leaving). Although it was technically a failure, it's nice to realize that I was able to do all of that on my own (I started when I was 16 and I only had a little bit of experience in programming), and it'll be great for a resume in the future.
Actually,.Net is an implementation of the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI, ECMA-335), just like Mono is..Net only runs on Microsoft supported platforms while Mono tries to run on many more. The fact that.Net isn't cross-platform doesn't matter, because it is Microsoft's, what do you expect? But that does not necessarily mean CLI is Microsoft's.
The way I see it, Mono is a cross platform implementation of CLI trying to be as compatible with Microsoft's.Net as possible.
And like the guy below wrongly said,.Net/Mono isn't a language, all these confusions about are what make unknowing people accuse and put C# (ECMA-334) and/or CLI down.
Haha, do you guys know that C# is an open standard, and so is CLI (.Net). I suggest you read the Mono FAQ, it will go over anything I can say a lot better.
I'm just surprised because I hear many people putting Mono and C# down pretty quickly when, when in fact thanks to these things, there have been quite a few innovative things done on the Desktop for Linux, including Banshee, Tomboy, Beagle, and many many more.
Typically the reason for such comments is either ignorance (I don't mean to troll, just trying to think of what can be the cause), as in, the people don't really know the situation, or just doing it because everyone else does it. There's a whole Mono section in the current issue of Linux Format Magazine which seems to kind of inform people on just how Mono is benefiting the Open Source community.
The point isn't for everyone to like it, but at least respect it, after all it's just another Open Source initiative/project and we all should stick together:) Just curious why there's such behavior/attitude towards it.
What's worse is that they call black people 'colored', when they're the ones that turn red when they're angry, pink when embarrassed, blue when cold, green when sick, pale when scared, and brown when tanned.
It's interesting to see you say that you're a 'fairly competent *nix user' when other people who are completely new to linux have gotten MP3 support practically right after installing ubuntu, have you checked the wiki by any chance?

I heard Far Cry also used it.

Haha, what makes you think 'faggots' don't use windows? Or Mac?

Haha, if you don't like the code names, you should check this [uncyclopedia.org] out!
Yeah haha sorry, I guess that's what I meant. I'm not one of those hardcore anti-microsoft people, just some things really irritate me.
What pisses me off is how they can go around suing everyone for patent stuff when they do it themselves thinking no one will find out.
