Unfortunately it's not free as in freedom, AFAIK. This idea seems to be first implemented by Luis von Ahn. 2) This is not an idea, but perhaps a discourse about where are we regarding creative sharing: http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/shirky08/shirky08_index.html (Clay Shirky at Web 2.0 Expo 2008) 3) Again not an idea about graphic media, but it is interesting for the topic of sharing efforts: Michael Wesch runs a collaborative experiment with his students, they gather facts on a topic an share it in the class and with the world http://mediatedcultures.net/ksudigg/ 1) ‘Share photo captions’ or ‘Tag a photo’ (http://www.gwap.com/gwap/gamesPreview/espgame/):

This is a great idea however. What other services would you like to see for FLOSS graphics on the web? That is amazing how far ubiquity is getting pushed. This is a great idea however.

Sites like Aviary are doing some amazing things, and we can't deny the collaborative aspects missing from our applications for ages. The tools have gotten so complex that we don't even need 50% of the features. Yes, completely.

It'd be good to see these applications have web interfaces, especially if they're as open as the programs themselves Great start!

I see the web (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) being a glue for some of these applications: GIMP and Inkscape in particular. Or building a webpage that is a "canvas" for bitmaps and vectors and both are editable almost in place by integrating with the desktop applications.... Sounds interesting.
