I've looked into refactoring the clipart browser for qt, and it shouldn't be too hard. I'm not crazy about the idea of splitting the code into two permanent branches like that, but that's still preferrable to forcing someone else to write one from scratch or discouraging kde users from using it. I'll email koffice when I have a prototype working, hopefully in the next week or so.

Maybe the klipart site could be redirected to Open Clip Art Library. I'm all about consolidating information. :) I would like to work on some qt-based code though sometime in the future, but not right now. Yes, I would also like to see Karbon support <a href="http://creativecommons.org">creativecommons.org</a> metadata like Inkscape does. This shouldn't be too difficult at all. Any developers interested in hacking? Also, we now have a gtk based clipart browser project that is in Inkscape's CVS. Maybe some of this code could be adapted for a KDE component? In the interim, it can be run alongside other KOffice apps and hopefully drag and drop works as well as it does for GTK+ based apps.
