Can you all add this to the wiki page
(http://openclipart.org/wiki/index.php/CcHost#Development_on_ccHost), or
link to it from the wiki page please? Thanks!

Also, on another note...we need to ascertain if we can add our file
metadata needs to getid3.sf.net. I haven't really looked into fully, but
it would be good to check this out and move forward depending on what is
discovered. How can we best support SVG filetypes and the use of CC
metadata?

These changes you post about above would need to be added as patches to
getid3, so we need to decide a course of action and move on it.

The file mechanisms are abstracted in cchost as the original developer
has explained to me previously. Possibly he (hi victor) can outline for
us where this is in the code, and how to move forward in order to add
support for SVG files (including the compressed versions and packages)
to cchost.

Victor, the list of file types we would like to support are above.
Adding all these different compressed file types would be a great
addition, as well as the support for PDF, right?
