I kind of think, though, this is what we had concluded about a year ago 
and since the results have basically been nothing over this long 
timespan, I think it's better to just admit that it is not easy to build 
something like this and focus on the artwork instead. Start a community 
now somewhere and hopefully migrate to a Fedora-hosted, Fedora-based 
solution is probably better than to not have artwork-sharing community 
at all.

As it is, some of us have been using deviantart but it's not been an 
'official' channel for folks to share artwork; if we're going to have 
one anyway we might as well make sure everyone knows about it and can 
participate.

Does that make sense?
