Agreed! THis would be a huge step forward in the clipart browsing of
openclipart However, the first step before this is automating the png
thumbnails on the site. Imbedding SVG's as images is not implemented
too well in browsers at the moment (not to mention no SVG at all in
IE)

So once that step is done, we can make better browse pages. I know the
mockups that AndyFitz have been working on have allowances for
browsing like this, so keep your eyes out.

Also, if anyone wants to help us with making ccHost better for the
openclipart library, hit the list and we will point you in the right
direction... (or just download cchost and start hacking!)
