Hi Peter,

I don´t want to duplicate functionallity. If you think the  
brainstroming section is not needed I will remove it.
The brainstroming worked very well on KDE-Look.org and GNOME-Look.org  
so I thought it would be a good idea for GIMP too.

About the linking.

My experience with GNOME-Look.org and KDE-Look.org is that it is very  
stimulating for free software projekts like for example GIMP, to have  
a community website where users can interact and become contributors  
and developers. I think this is good for the user- and developer-base  
of GIMP.

If you don´t want to collaborate it is not a problem for me. My idea  
was to support the GIMP projekt.

Cheers
Frank
