This is a dA paid subscription: http://inkscapers.deviantart.com/ and
its gallery feed:
http://backend.deviantart.com/rss.xml?q=by%3Ainkscapers+sort%3Atime+-in%3Ascraps&type=deviation
Is exactly the same as for an unpaid account.

I did more thinking about hosting and aggregating (if we decide to run
our own gallery):
- for hosting: not everybody has his own hosting solution, is willing to
pay for one and all free services are less then perfect. So for those in
heed a gallery or something provided by Fedora could be very useful.
- for aggregating only: if we host content, then we probably will want
to police it, so only aggregation will provide more freedom to the
contributors.
