Yeah, let me find it...  looks like someone already did.  However, I
changed the (still commented-out) link for Submit Screenshot so that
when we get Image::Magick installed and working all we have to do is
uncomment it.

It would be easy enough to make it send mail using Mail::Sendmail.
What address should it send the mail to?

The submit screenshots script is now (apart from that sending mail
thing) tested here on my system and working, but it doesn't work on
the site yet because Image::Magick is not installed.

It's in CVS as clipart_web/cgi-bin/upload_screenshot.cgi
That puts it at http://openclipart.org/cgi-bin/upload_screenshot.cgi
and it's ready to go once Image::Magick is working.

Mail::Sendmail is pure Perl and requires nothing but Perl5 and an
internet connection, so I can install that easily and it will Just
Work (TM).  (I love modules that are pure Perl.  I wish all modules
were pure Perl.  I wish all the world's software were pure Perl.)

Image::Magick is another matter entirely; it uses package-specific
libraries and things and is probably best installed using the
distribution's standard packaging tools (urpmi or apt or whatever),
which means we need to involve an administrator again.
