Hi Paul,

The following link shows how to check out a copy of our website module
anonymously and using a freedesktop.org account:

http://openclipart.org/wiki/index.php/CVS

The website is in the module clipart_web.

All you need is php and basic cgi-bin setup to get the site running.

Please ask any/all questions here and on the chat channel:

Great!

Bryce and Jonadab, you all might provide specific help on SVG::Metadata
and the other scripts.

Jon
