size of release sets (was Re: [Clipart] Open Clip Art Library - Release 0.06)

[Jon Phillips]

Yes, this would be a good task for someone to take on. Like nightly
tarballs/packages that people can download/update their library to
everyday. I guess we could add an apt/rpm repository that people could
access to update to the newest clip art. Thoughts?

Bryce, what do you think? How could this relate to DMS work?

Eventually, to offer a web service where synchronization and various
front-ends to our system will be the penultimate. Bryce's DMS work will
fit into this nicely.
