Bummer Adrian, you can check out the cvs module, clipart_web which is
where the website is located. You need basic knowledge of perl, php,
html and css to edit the site...it is not very complicated.

Please email if you have any questions.

Our general rule is for new contributors to contribute one patch and
then we give access to the cvs tree on freedesktop.org for unlimited
commit access.

Any and all help would be appreciated.
