I also thought about packaging. OpenClipart uses ccHost (<a href="http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CcHost" target="_blank">http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CcHost</a>) ccHost has an API to get data. (<a href="http://ccmixter.org/query-api" target="_blank">http://ccmixter.org/query-api</a>) <div id=":3c" class="ArwC7c ckChnd"> But i have some problems using these API. For a package we need all Cliparts from one tag (for example animals). Here a example to get the data for the tag "ant". <a href="http://openclipart.org/media/api/query?tags=ant&f=html" target="_blank">http://openclipart.org/media/api/query?tags=ant&f=html</a> It works fine, but html is not so good to use further. XML would be nice! <a href="http://openclipart.org/media/api/query?tags=ant&f=xml" target="_blank">http://openclipart.org/media/api/query?tags=ant&f=xml</a> But the XML has a messed up structure. The next problem is that when i want the data from an tag with a lot of objects like "animal" the Api doesn't work anymore. Another problem is that in the api data sometimes there is an svg linked and sometimes the png preview. I think for clean packages there are some work to do. - seperate in the upload GUI svg and preview - create some basic categories ... every clipart can only be in one categorie Jochen maybe we can work on that together... in german :-) Michael</div> <div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Mar 1, 2009 at 5:28 PM, Jochen Staerk <<a href="mailto:jstaerk@usegroup.de">jstaerk@usegroup.de</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I've donloaded the daily release and created png thumbnails, the result is available on <a href="http://www.usegroup.de/software/openclipart/openclipart20090301.zip" target="_blank">http://www.usegroup.de/software/openclipart/openclipart20090301.zip</a> (412MB, 11544 cliparts) Below is what I did, the question is: would this be a candidate for a 0.20 release?
