I think it's high time to get to know each other a little bit, that is, how you use GIMP and/or Inkscape, how much you know about these tools etc. This makes it also easier for everyone involved to know what you would like to see here. For instance, making a tutorial is always a bit of a shot in the dark if you don't know anything about the people who watch this community. So, don't be shy and talk to us :)

I'm of two minds about challenges. One is that, no I don't think challenges really fit with a tips/tutorials/resources community like this is. On the other hand, challenges can be fun. Though they can also be depressing if one runs them - I run [community profile] icon_style and I'm thinking of giving up because of low participation.
