I like the screenshots. So your goal with this website is to create a site 
with official screenshots of GNOME? That's not a bad idea - of course user-
screenshots can be found on gnome-look.org plenty but official ones can be 
very useful.

I would however just put them on thew wiki that Stormy mentioned, unless you 
want to use this as some marketing tool? If so, where would it fit in exactly? 
The GNOME website could use a screenshot tour page, that might be a good 
spot...
