Jared,
The deed is done, if you check http://staging.inkscape.org/en/community/gallery/ you'll find my new brochure django-cms plugin being used. It pulls in an rss feed, allows you to control how indexed entries are enabled from different sources.
Sorry, but I don't see how showing arbitrary images on our website is going to benefit the project.

I'm new to this Inkscape dev community, but one thing I greatly appreciate about the project (besides it being inherently FLOSS) is that what flows from it being opensource is the user and dev community.
Therefore, I see this dynamic user gallery, which is not strictly curated, as a natural outflowing of the philosophy and use of the project itself. I hope that makes sense, and it may not be where everyone else is at, but I think it's a natural bridge to connect the userbase artwork into how we want to represent the software.
By not filtering (or curating, or soliciting) the images we run the risk of hosting "arbitrary images," but so far I see it worthwhile, and at the same time strengthening our bond between devs and users.
If we had a simple way to showcase excellent artwork examples, and had those assets already available, I would be happy to consider another solution. But feeding the activity of an another active site into ours is the best I've currently seen to solve this. (If any artists are out there listening and want to submit artwork for the website, I would think now is the time and place to do so!)
Let me know any other ideas Alexandre!
