I agree too - I am forever making huge contact sheets of my work for
posting to the wiki so that the evolution is clear and peopel can
comment on different stages of the process. A usefull system for me
would be the ability to sumit many versions of a specific piece of
work, have it tile them, make a slideshow, order them and allow each
individual one to be commented on and discussed...
