Well, I doubt that we're going to have a tag "objectable", because, that 
is relative.  But, I think something like "sex", "hand gesture", "nazi", 
etc. would all be appropriate.  That would allow other people to make 
various collections based on what they find "objectable" while 
maintaining your set also.

We're using the metadata keywords to find the information.  In Inkscape 
you can find the location to put those in "File->Document Properties". 
All files you download from Open Clip Art should have many of those 
filled in.

I'm not sure that we have a process for easily changing keywords right 
now, it is still a manual process.  But, I think that if you would join 
the mailing list and provide a list of recommendations it would be 
listened to.

I have no problem hosting other sub-collections on openclipart.org, but 
I would like to hear what other people on the list think about this.
