I suspect that if there actually was integration with

site for image manipulation, soon people would be complaining about
what features that third party site lacks. That would spur people to
actually implement an alternative, because they could see that it's
useful, visualise a solution, and have some clear problems to solve.
They would also have to start from scratch to even achieve feature
parity. No, if you want to spur open-source work, put up a shoddy
form-based one-day job. *Then* people will want to submit patches to
fix the suckiness, with every patch motivated by the fact that it will
directly improve a lousy interface that wastes their time. I think
you'd get a good collaborative base done in not too much time at all.
So who wants to integrate the cruddy form-based MagickStudio or
whatever, or something of our own, and see if anyone contributes
improvements?
