[Clipart] New Planet Design

[Schrijver]

Hi Michael,

I see what you mean.
It would be hard to accomplish this gallery view
without at least one column having a fixed width.
That could also be in ems, though, but that is not very usual as of  
yet, I guess…

But a gallery view would be sure great

I could help with the code.
I’m a visual artist, but I know web technologies.

Is there a version control system for this or you just collaborate on  
this casually?
If so, just drop me a mail

Eric
