IMO, what you describe is what I like in forcing remote communication: you are forced to take the time to lay down on paper^Wtext what your problem is; that forces you to decompose it methodically so that you will be understood. That proces

The problem is that, unlike programmers, artists generally want to get paid (insert here the millions of complaints about having to do a logo for free, etc.). So that's a no-go for most free software which don't have the means to
