Right time is when you think your project solves the same problems others may be facing and you think you need an extra help in furthering your efforts or when you have lost interest in the project

The right time to do it? Well, when you don't have any time for the project.

It depends on your project.

For most things, as soon as one feature is functional. In some edge cases (i.e. games), when you think it's ready for primetime :)
