Fwd: [Clipart] dead or alive

[Bryce Harrington]

Thanks for forwarding this, Theresa!

Hi Elliott, openclipart needs a LOT of help in a lot of different areas,
so don't worry about having the wrong background - it just means you'll
need to explore a bit to see what you would be most interested and able
to work on.

It may be challenging to find well defined "work packets" in a project
like this, but perhaps the best approach would be to watch this mailing
list for specific requests.  For instance, today rejon asked for someone
to do news postings - I don't know if that's something you'd be
interested in, but it's quite specific and clear...  It's likely that
other such tasks will appear.

Rejon, can you follow up with additional ideas of little projects that
OCAL needs?  Elliot or others might be able to grab one of these tasks
if it strikes their fancy.

Bryce
