Jenn,

I think this idea would be great, but we don't need a new list for that.
If people post that they created an image with FF filters and want to
invite comments on it and discuss techniques here, it would be very
welcome. It traffic becomes to high (not a problem right now, much to
the contrary), we can do something about it. Better a lot of interest
than none at all.
Secondly, I have been inviting people to post images and comments to the
First Filter Factory Imaging Contest on my site. Some great pictures
there, but I would like to see many more. I am sorry I haven't been very
present here and giving updates on the contest. Right now I have some
copies of the FFCD to give away to the best images. I think I will
decide on a limit date for postings and start voting very soon. So, if
you want to show off your stuff, just head to the Pluginhead conference
at i/us and place your entry. Instructions are in the first message of
that thread. The address is http://www.i-us.com/plughead.htm.
i-us has bandwidth to spare... let's use it!
