Well, for one, there /is/ the unofficial gallery. Maybe we can
have a link for there for the contest.

Ditto. It's better to leave us all with wanting more than start
off too ambitious and everyone wanes off. Every other month sounds
good--not too quick or slow. If there is demand enough and enthusiasm, we
can make it monthly.

Split on this one. I guess exotic Zuikos are out of the range of
all but few, and this would seriously limit the possible entries and
compositions. Points? it'd be hard to be subjective.

Well, the idea of prizes is neat. We should go with it, but keep
it simple...but the prize would be getting voted in. Hmm, this will
require expending some brain cells ;-) Oly caps? Film?
