Maybe what we should do rather than a weekly one, is to get a monthly
one so we can get back to some type of monthly release. It is noticeable
in our stats when we do monthly releases, and promoting some type of
clipart of the month along with worldlabel.com would be cool to try
out...then we could do monthly PR about this and updates via email,
press outlets, and so on.

Oh, btw, now that the site is fully live, we can run contests now ;) We
could run the clipart of the month as a contest where the community can
vote, so its automated. We could name them YEARMONTH (like 200702, for
consistency). So, http://openclipart.org/200702. Or, maybe better to
have contest in the URL: http://openclipart.org/200702contest

I think though it would be good to give it a solid run like 3 months of
monthly contests so we don't burn out like our first 18 months of
releases :) Then, we can re-evaluate how it is working in 3 months.

Also, in those monthly releases we could start to focus our development
more with simple solid tasks to undertake and start rebuilding our
development population.

What do you all think?
