The web form is one of many places you can request help or report issues
and is intended to be an alternative to signing up to the mailing list

That is designed to prevent spam, junkmail or viruses being sent to the
list.

You wouldn't think so if you realised quite how much spam gets sent to
lists like these.

There was no intention of trying to be funny or to discriminate against
users.  Signing up to the mailing list would probaby have been an
easier option.

Some of the Speech to Text software available might be easier than typing,
or if you are using Linux you might consider trying out Dasher a system
for fast text entry: http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/dasher/

The option of an ISO image is not currently available but you could still
unzip and burn the collection to a CD using any good CD burning program
(or even a lousy CD burning program like the one built in to windows).

There have been several groups who have expressed an interest in putting
OpenClipart on disc and one of the Linux computer magazines may have
already done so but as far as I know we haven't heard back from them and
we dont have a copy available.
