Yes, I'm very interested in boosting the visibility of OCAL along with
OO.o. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The OO.o project has
so many entry points and people I don't even know where to get started
in pushing for more integration.

I guess I see it as this:

    1.) OO.o needs SVG import/export
    2.) OO.o needs OCAL browser that browses SVG and not PNG
        * This is under Tools > Gallery in OO.o, right?
    3.) OO.o needs better promotion of Open Clip Art Library (web,etc)

* We are already providing a huge resource to the standard Open Office
user, but also how can we promote Open Office more? I would ask the same
thing of other affiliate projects?
