  Well, I'm the "artist".I missed out all the mayor lakes in
Americas,Europe ,a lot of little islands near the recent Tsunami,New
Zealand,east Maldives(Sandwich) , maybe Hawaii ...
 
   Fell free to modify/add what you want,it's public domain and you
 could,you are welcome and,it would be nice,but I don't have time to do
 it by my self.
 
   I thought about making rivers and mountains,but now there are more
 priority stuff under OCAL to do ,in my opinion, improving the way
people access the data.It counts nothing what you do if people have not
a simple and fast way of accessing the archives.(I couldn't find my own
artwork).
 
  As you said this is unsorted, but I included it under America,Europe
keywords ,and so on.I feel the way OCAL archives data and you retrieve
it is very confusing (a lot of directories).Very painful to access.
  
  I started coding a GTK app ,now it's vaporware, to search the way
google does(using metadata,and why not? content,I think I put names to
countries,like France,Germany) ,for clip art,only a gtkcombo ,with a
list displaying the png thumbnails previously generated.
  You click a file and inkscape is loaded with it.
The idea it's to sort OCAL the way the user likes/needs,not the way
packers wanted it and add keywords from the app,in a simple manner
without using command line.The strong part is the searching algorithm
,and I will spend my spare time with it, not with art.

   Bye                                 Jose Hevia.
