FW: [Clipart] Clipart cleaning (was: Artists Signing Clipart)

[ryan]

 I think I may create a system tag - cleanup_needed, and apply it to images
 that I think may need a touch up, but don't have time to do yet.
 
 Just in case you don't know, there is a Admin link on the rhs of an
 images' page that allows you to edit a system tag. (that's if you are an
 admin in cchost :) )
 
 So when we get around to cleaning up an image with this tag, it can be
 removed.
 
 thanks,
 
 Ryan Lerch
