We included any size for the first round. Then we emailed everyone to get 
permission, larger sizes, etc.

I think that the wiki should be used more for project pages. So if you really 
want to have an ongoing discussion in which several people take part and work 
together toward some design goal the wiki is the place for you.

The backgrounds are best kept in one place and currently flickr is simply the 
best free alternative we have that already draws large numbers of 
contributors.
