[OpenFontLibrary] A preview of the fonts on OFL (includes a backup of nearly all fonts and a way to download them)

[Jon Phillips]

svn checkout https://svn.openclipart.org/public/openclipart/packager/trunk
packager


But, that is configured for clipart currently. Bonus points if someone
wants to genericize the package to work for fonts to at OFLB. Its
architected pretty general and can just take in the big folder and
package everything up into RPMs, DEBs, ZIPfiles, etc...so could do a
release every month!

Also, would anyone want to take on this task to help do monthly
release of the fonts?

Setting up a cronjob is a nice way to keep it always happening, and
save like the last 30 days of files at a time in the package, then
just take the 1st of the month and make a new package!


For those who don't have access yet and want to contribute:

Cool!
