No, sorry.
I think it's a bit early to worry about hosting.
Let's think a bit about requirements:
- Account management. Would be ideal if people could use existing wiki
accounts.
---- Is possible, if the wiki can use LDAP directory services, or OpenIDs
- Enforce a minimum size of uploads (only for wallpapers), maybe even
one of a list of fixed resolutions/aspect-ratios.
---- Very much possible
- Automatic thumbnail generation.
- Gallery pages with filtering/search.
- Mandatory specification of a license and author(s).
- Categories/Tagging: photo vs abstract, tagging for a specific release
as the very minimum.
---- All of the above are possible, but will require custom PHP or Python
programming (thus I'll need those features in hosting)
- Comments per submission, ideally nested.
- Notifications (email) on additions, edits, comments.
---- Native features of WordPress.
- Manage source files such as SVG and XCF.
---- A Subversion or Git backend can be used. This will also provide versioning
support. We can use the Bazaar services provided by Launchpad as well.
Very nice to have:
- Ability to link with Flickr. Search both on the site and within Flickr
at once.
---- I know many such plugins. However, searching is tricky.
- Versioning. Allowing to add newer versions of a submission, while
keeping the old ones available. Mark comments as referring to a specific
version.
---- Again, we can use Launchpad as a backend.
