I suspect that if there actually was integration with a third party 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?
