Yeah, I saw both of these.  Looking at them again, looks like there
are rendering problems with the contest page:

Anyway, the point of using Gallery is that it will allow artists to 
easily upload works themselves and not require a machine account to 
do it.  It is also easy to setup, once the webserver has php support.

I remember very well from the gimp.org contests of old, that if stuff
is not maintainable, it dies quickly.

Also, this could be setup before or after the new site goes live.  I
can do all the setup work.
