Jacques, all

Maybe we should retain the gallery as a place open for all contributors to
post their screenshots of themes, and a url to where the theme is
maintained?

That we we keep the visibility of the diversity and at the same time keep
maintenance of the page to a minimum.

Regards,

Pierre Smits
