For starters, download gimp. It's open source and legally free to distribute. It's a little finicky but has decent functionality once you get used to it.
I'll say sure why not for now. I may or may not put off doing anything productive for days on end or focus other projects if I think whatever you suggest is dumb, or if my painfully short attention span is focused on almost anything else, productive or not. I'm not certain I wouldn't just quit eventually either.
All that being said, I want to help secure the bag through means besides donating and sometimes need someone to bounce ideas off of.
