[Clipart] PR for 0.16

[Christopher Ellison]

I want to echo some of those comments.  As of now, www.openclipart.org 
has a developer-ish look----meaning, it doesn't look clean, simple, and 
designed for the user.  But perhaps that is what is needed/desired right 
now.

Has there been a discussion on design? For instance, the "Incoming Clip 
Art" panel is nice...but it isn't something that I would consider 
essential (as in front page material) for a website aiming towards the 
general user---actually, I found it somewhat distracting/confusing.  
Overall, I am wondering:  Where is the white space? It seems kinda busy.

Anyway, I look forward to any responses.

Chris
