Possibly...
For the screenshots one there will definitely need to be game playing :)
The name emphasises bringing fun to Debian - which is what the games
team does - and may attract more people as a result.
Suggestions for a better name welcome though.

I don't think we need a passwd, we can just disable it once the party is over.

Good, some timestamps and "Claimed X seconds ago" would help with this.

Definitely, and maybe for claims too.

Hmm, OK. I was thinking something Web2.0 like django/pylons/RoR &
jquery. I don't have the skills to do that though so I'll leave choice
of tech to you.

Not sure if we need 1 vs 2 since I'll just continously approve/reject
stuff? This brings up a good point though, how to sync status with the
screenshots site. I'll talk to Signum about it.

Agreed.
