Can we set up a place where children can contribute their own content
directly, with a way for other children to comment?

We could use them in memorize, or in jigsaw puzzles. Perhaps some of
them could be animated in Etoys. There should be a big picture book
published, or several, or a CD-ROM. Coffee-table books (perhaps with
some of the profits being donated to worthy causes), children's
picture books. Perhaps National Geographic would be interested in an
article.
