The conversation about tools and talent is an interesting one: why not try and use this as an opportunity to teach or learn the open source tools that we have available? If the tools can't do what you want them to do this might be an opportunity to get some features included so, even if your idea can't be brought to full fruition this time then the tools will be in place for next. I was wondering if we could produce some banners or widgets people could have on their blogs and websites: "I've entered the Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase, have you?" - though perhaps a more snappy version would elicit a better response! We could make them available on the Art Work wiki. Spread the word!
