Also there is perhaps need to integrate distributed (peer-to-peer or friend-to-friend) communications, here are my suggestions:

• GNUnet: For publishing of art works in general.

  • GNU MediaGoblin: As a possible interaction with GNUnet, so that servers no longer have to lift all the heavy weight for themselves, but instead also distribute this to the clients/visitors if these love some work and want to share it.
  • Perhaps we need to change GNUnet so that it shares stuff that you download by default?

• GNU Ring: For instant communication.

• BitMessage: For something similar to e-mail, also supports mailing lists. Has low file size attachment limit, which is good in my opinion.

• Twister: For microblogging.

  • Or we could make Pump.io make use of GNUnet.

Of course, these are just my ideas. And unfortunatelly, I'm not a developer, so I don't know how to make all of this happen. I only know that we must perhaps integrate projects better, even GNU projects better with each other.
