Shouldn't 1 month be enough time to set things up? We could start submitting in
November, and get the site ready during December. We would have things
presentable in early January.

How about Nature? This would include all of the above.

I think you missed Religion and Miscelaneous.

I take it you based this idea on the IRTC. I think that this is the best way to
subdivide the site. Chronologically (the month and year of the image's
creation), Alphabetically (the title of each image), by Artist (the last and
first name of the artist), and by Category (the aforementioned categories). I
don't think a separation by country is necessary, as in the site I take this
idea from: http://www.raph.com/3dartists/3dp.html

Maybe the Title shoud be the common image (i.e. the one we make together).

Mr. Tyler has the uncanny ability to write like one. Ask him. (=

Obviously this isn't a one person job. I would like to help. Maybe I can turn on
my FTPDaemon at a specified time, or let people ICQ the files to me. I don't
have a free connection, but it is unlimited, as is my telephone, so there is no
problem here. I would upload during the night to the site.
