<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I have been working on a new section in
the Open Clip Art wiki to cover the task of clipart acquisition. I believe that
this is a very important part of the open clip art library, because we are cataloguing
and storing all the PD images from all parts of the internet. John Olsen aka “JohnnyAutomatic”
has already begun the huge task of transforming all the images out there into
SVGs so that they can me submitted to the library.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>The purpose of the new section in the wiki
is to try and centralise the task of searching websites for content, checking
it’s copyright status, converting it, and uploading it. I tried to design
it so someone can, at a quick glance, see what acquisition projects are running
in OCAL currently, and what they can do to help.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

only just been made, and I am the only one that has had input so far, so any
feedback/contributions to this area is greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

to help bolster the resources of the Open Clip Art Library, converting and
uploading existing images is a great way to help.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
