I think most of us probably have some connection with kids (or adults) with communication difficulties and this could be a really good thing.

Yep, this is the basic idea. I don't know how well it will work, but it's something my wife is wanting me to do, and Picture This! doesn't work on Linux. > What do you need pics of in particular? Everyday things. A bed, a potty, a plate of food, a television, different toys, balls, a stroller/wheelchair, books, games, etc. Anything else you want to take pictures of is good, too. The system I have in mind will be generic enough to use for making GIMP into an application like Print Shop as well. Basically, I'm going to have a set of templates, which will be existing images with coordinates defined to put text or images. The first release will be done in script-fu, so it's going to be pretty ugly. However, if I have time, I may make it a full-blown plugin, so it has a nice UI.
