[Clipart] Basic Principles

[David Illsley]

Hi all,

Is there a list of basic principles somewhere?
If so, can someone point me at it and ignore the rest of this mail.
Otherwise...


I've written out some of mine. Probably all are controvertial to some 
people so to avoid prolonged discussions every time someone new happens 
along I think a list like the one below with a set of explanations of 
why would be helpful.

I don't know whether people would prefer to discuss something like this 
by e-mail, wiki or irc?

Basic set of assumptions:

1. For the moment SVG should be the only format accepted as the base 
format to keep things simple.

2. There is no fundamental objection to the project providing bitmap 
versions of SVG images if there are requests and help to do this.

3. There is no fundamental objection to the project providing non-svg 
vector format versions of SVG images if there are requests and help to 
do this.

4. In order to allow the widest useage of the images the only 
acceptable "license" is release to the public domain.

5. To simplify submissions for this project, submissions must be 
creative commons "Public Domain Dedicated"

6. The project will use XMP to mark all downloadable SVG files with 
appropriate licensing information (See creativecommons.org)

7. All files will be named according to an as yet to be decided method

8. The method should take into account that file contents should be 
easily recogniosable from the name.

9. The project aims to have rich metadata for all of its files
