Thanks again a_l_e!


Dave, I'm providing here quickly, but you might want to add onto this statement.

Open Font Project needs to be renamed:

Open Font Library
"Typefaces we can all share."
http://openfontlibrary.org

The Open Font Library is a sister project of the Open Clip Art
Library. The goal of this project is to collect free software fonts -
those that may be used, changed and shared freely.

* Find fine fonts: The Open Font Library hosts the cream of
non-proprietary typeface designs.
* Share your typefaces: Individuals share their work here and benefit
from collaborative contributions.
* Learn how to make fonts: Become a better type designer with input
from our global community.
* Start using @font-face: Link in to Web Fonts! We host font files
that you can directly link to from your sites.

Fonts: http://openfontlibrary.org/media/view/media/fonts

The Create Project
http://create.freedesktop.org
(A_L_E: a new logo is coming soon for this project)

Creative Free and Open Source projects such as Blender, CinePaint,
GIMP, Inkscape, Scribus, Audacity, Open Clip Art Library and others
are highly successful projects which produce much video, audio,
illustrations, photos, and other content. However, much code, media,
and infrastructure are produced by each project somewhat independently
which could be shared inter-project. For example, several of the
aforementioned applications have their own brush types, color
preferences, preferred media storage locations, keyboard shortcuts and
file format converters. Sharing these resources saves developer time,
increases productivity, and contributes to an overall improved user
experience. Because of this overlap and the similarity of media, there
is need to work together on standards, promotions, and inter-community
plans. The Create Project catalyzes communication and sharing between
Free and Open Source "creative software" communities by providing a
third-party space for shared infrastructure.
