I would like the inkscape developers to join us, too. There's a lot we can share with inkscape.org, for example, and collaborating with them would be useful.
I just got an idea about a possible collaboration with inkscape.org, but it require some more work from you... if you are following our lists, you are probably aware Inkscape's website will be moved on Drupal, so gaining some more features. *If* your website will get valuable content (both in quantity and quality), I think inkscape.org could display a feed with the latest uploads or something like this (but you need to provide a feed and the feed to contain thumbnails). Also, you can look into aggregation at http://planet.inkscape.org, maybe the "image of the day" or "image of the week".
The point is: fix what needs to be fixed, populate the website and then release it officially. In the meantime we can imagine upgrades to come, layout improvements, features enhancement and everything to make inkscape gallery our (inkscapers) "visit card", our best inkscape's experience.
Yup, follow the FOSS mantra: "release early, release often".
But this is going to happen only if we believe that there's something new and special in the work i've done and that we will work together to improve it, to give it the best "free" ideas and skills.
This is why I repeat over and over about the SVG support, I think it is *that* new and special something.
This is why I suggested explanation in pop-up windows.
I would agree with you about this, and we could choose to use a different section to show the licenses explanation. There's an easy achievement and it is already working for the italian language. Try to switch to italian and then go to the content creation, you will see a text block in the right column called instrucions (in english...) If we prefer we could do the same for the english content creation. Give me feedback about this.
If it was *my* site, here is how I think I would implement it (mockup made with Inkscape, of course): http://nicubunu.ro/pictures/inkscapegallery_uploadmockup.png
Now i posted 10 images or more and then i see 4 images made by other users, it seems my monograph and it's not what we want. Galleries too need images to be beautiful so i'm still wondering if someone is going to post inkscape made images in the next hours or days, then we go :-)
OK, I will dig my hard drive for a couple more decent images (those I uploaded the other day are my most recent work) and post there, maybe it will help you to get "enough" to get live.
