Qipit (www.qipit.com) works great for recording all those ideas inventors come up with every day. Whether saving the idea scribbled on a napkin or when needing to save an elaborate whiteboard from a brainstorming session. You just need your camera phone or a digital camera.

I would add to your documenting tools a couple of other ones which may be more useful than Gimp.
Inkscape (Vector Graphics program)
Blender 3D (Open Source 3D modeling Software)
Google Sketchup (3d Model/Environment software)

Excellent suggestions! I originally had Blender but their site was down for a while so I removed them. They're back up now it seems so it's a great tool to have, especially for the price! :)
Thanks Alicia..
keep them coming... I know there's more out there.

Thanks for writing us up Mashable! We love inventors, ideas, and innovation, and that's why we started IdeaTango. Thanks to all our members who have spread the word and helped us become the largest (in terms of traffic AND membership) social networking community for inventors.
We have some exciting things happening, including exclusive contests with thousands of dollars in prizes, and other amazing opportunities that help inventors be more successful when launching their product. You can always reach me or any of our founders at www.ideatango.com.

You might also want to try InventBay.com. They're having an Inventors Expo coming up in Oct that should be a good time (www.inventbay.com/expo)

I think a site every inventor, or wanna-be inventor needs to explore a bit is called HalfBakery.com
It "Puts the 'reek' in Eureka" and is just a fun place to stretch your brain and have fun (not all ideas are serious or worth actually trying to bring to market).
