Hi all

I just found out about your project. Of course it was a weblog that sent me 
your way;-) I guess you can need some more publicity.

I've filed a bug on the website for openclipartlibrary to include a link to 
you:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4979

I'm interested in what you goals are. It's not clear to me, how one could 
exactly help.

As a library, I guess you want to get as much as you get. Are there plans to 
create packages for distributions out of them? If so, lists of all available 
font packages in various distributions would be nice.

Do you want people to
 * create new fonts, and submit it to you?
 * spider the web, check licences and submit the fonts I found?
 * create scripts to extract fonts from Debian/Redhat packages?

I guess all of these, but you should state more clearly what you want. Would 
be nice if you could include some more information about how to help on a 
wiki page,

Anyway, I'm happy that you started this project and hope for his success.

Thanx
Simon
