Aaron, I really don't know anything about the project. When I went to the 
site, I felt there were a few weaknesses as well. The underlying sense was 
that you were giving away your images with out really knowing their fate. I 
always made it very clear on FOM2 that the photographers would remain in 
control of their images. I do think the group project was a good idea, 
especially since I also left it to the group to make the final photographic 
choices: Still it could be a way to keep the shutter loose ;-)
