OK, I think it is the case to speak more directly about what I have in 
my mind: for a project (be it Art or anything else) to be successful, 
they key is to give its users what they want.
Some users want to get and some contributors may want to offer some 
content which fedoraproject.org may not want to host (direct jokes on 
Microsoft or other competitors, NSFW stuff, etc.). I suspect we will not 
want to host this stuff but will be OK with aggregating it.

In any case, we *will* host something, be it the full gallery or an 
aggregation of galleries hosted elsewhere, so we will not lose the 
opportunity to promote.
