At s_d we just changed it too one preview image, max of 400x300 (or 300x400 of couse). For the dialuppers, but also for the people who have lots of picture comms on their flist. Even with high speed it can get slow when every post is six big pics, with 20 posts per page.

I find that generally, the more stuff that gets cut, the happier the comm is, because it's easier for people to skip stuff they aren't interested in.

Maybe lead? Captain sounds like we're trying to be cutesy.

We do need an awesome layout. :) Know anyone we can cajole/con/bribe? I can ask about.

My two closest graphics-y friends are writing school stuff right now (a dissertation and a book), so I don't want to bother them.

How do we want to launch this? The layout and rules should be up before we announce the comm, but should we recruit volunteers before or after? Maybe an announce with an intro post and some promotion in other comms and newsletters, then follow that up with a call for volunteers?
