That's a very good point. We've occasionally used the phrase "made by 
people like you and me" or so, to make it clear that we strive to 
include everyone instead of having creators on one side and consumers on 
the other. But I like your "take a look and join in" too.

I'm sure our community would provide translations quickly. This is also 
the first time where I think that we might perhaps want to give 
translators the option of exchanging the imagery as well. I'm not a 
communications expert but it is quite possible that an image that works 
great for Europe and the US suddenly is problematic in India or Japan.

Bye
Frederik
