[Clipart] KDE and OCAL (soap)

[Jon Phillips]

Check out DMS:
http://openclipart.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?DocumentManagementSystem

I added a howto on where to get DMS and need to add some documentation
on how to get DMS up and running on a server. I think very necessary.

I think you should check this out, install it, and see how this can work
with what you want to attempt, and then implement something to show your
ideas.
