I'd love to see an iconmaker community grow over here, too. But at the same time I don't want to draw any people away from the LJ community, which is still some 200 makers strong and would suffer from losing people to DW.
So I think it's going to be a balancing act - until LJ goes away for good, which is just a matter of time, I think. I hope that we'll have built a foundation here by then, to attract iconmakers here.
The current status on DW is, sadly, dismal. Two iconmaking communities (and one of them is a copy of an LJ comm). That's ... nothing. So we'll just start small here.
Iconmaking is still a fun hobby and everyone likes and needs icons, so it should come naturally. *g*
My current plan is to start some challenges/battles here in this comm, as people seem to be favoring that idea in the poll. And then we'll see where we go from here.

We definitely need more promotion of this comm.
