I've been thinking more and more about this and am starting to come to
the conclusion that we should unify these projects into one open content
storage place for free content and make openclipart.org and
openfontlibrary.org portal pages to this overall site...

The more times we have these different sites, the more we have to
maintain differen sites, lists, etc...

What would you all think about this merger of sorts? We would keep the
domains and have content portals, but overall, would use one ccHost
installation...this way, we could just roll out different content types
as there are maintainers for them.

Another thing I've been batting around is if we should allow more
license types. I'm thinking we should allow for PD, CC BY, CC BY-SA 

Should we not allow for more contributors if we can get them? I've been
thinking about this much while at wikimania...

I think we need to consolidate our resources and efforts now and grow
this...
