[Clipart] Migration of old clipart to the cchost site.

[momo]

Hello,

I think that creating an anonymous account and dropping in all the clipart 
is a good idea since there is no garantee that people that submitted the old 
cliparts will ever create an account in CCHOST and will therefore want their 
cliparts to be listed under their account. If this happens, the user can 
write a mail to the list and tell what pieces of clipart he wants to place 
under his new account. It's then up to admins to move the clipart under the 
selected account.

Personally I have several cliparts in the old repository submitted under 
different names (mo, molumen, lumen design studio and maybe a couple of 
others) so I can do it in 2 different ways: 1) resubmit them, or 2) request 
them to be moved under my account in CCHOST (molumen).

Also, I think that it would be great  to go through all the cliparts and 
check them for quality (remove the Illustrator tags to decrease the size of 
the files, clean the cliparts by optimizing the curves or delete the 
cliparts containing bitmaps for example) and only then move them to CCHSOT. 
I understand that it is a trikcy task, but it will increase the overall 
quality of Openclipart. I you will need help with that, I am willing to do 
it during my free time (mainly during weekends), but I'll need some kind of 
admin rights to have access to the cliparts.

Thanks!

Molumen
