Managing development is always a good idea. No reason to be sloppy just 
because it's open source. As others have noted, creating a schedule makes 
things move along better. Just because it's free does not prevent some people 
from being, or trying to be professional with their development cycle.

The product will only be as good as the developers pursues their task. A 
timeline works against being slack and puts more pride in each person for 
being part of a great team.
