[Clipart] Re: coordinate the new release

[Greg Steffensen]

I'm thrilled that we beat the goal by so much, but, trite as this seems, we 
should not make the # of images the only metric by which OCAL judges itself. 
In my work with the browser, I've seen more than a handful of duplicate 
images that only differ in metadata (and its my fault for not writing these 
down and reporting them), and many images have problematic metadata (such as 
the hash issue). Actually, while I'm on the topic, is there an efficient way 
to correct issues like these?
