Hi, I have started an open source project and am wondering if anyone has any advice to get it out into the wilderness?

whats the project?

Starting a thread on this site and getting others involved would be one way to start. Depending on how far along you are on your projects then http://sourceforge.net/ - http://www.hotscripts.com and http://www.phpclasses.org/ are places I know many check for opensource projects.

Thanks for your input. The project is in my footer. I have already posted it here.

Get a second developer involved with the project who uses and believes in the software. You will need to let go of some of your design assumptions to do this though.
