I agree, this is absolutely amazing!
It has awesome potential, here is a screenshot of the results I got from
using this little tool, after a random play with the yellow brush...

This is super cool! It would be great to integrate this into our site
and add you to our development team.
This is crazy...it uses javascript for all this goodness. How are you
searching the clip art? Do you have some kind of index?

This is amazing! I'm still getting some errors, but once I click
through, it completes the search.

Yes, absolutely. All the clipart is in the public domain, so it is clear
to use however you'd like.

available.
Totally!

So Tom, how could you think of this fitting into our current site. We
are moving this page http://openclipart.org/cchost to be our main site
and it would be crazy good to add better and different search
technologies to our site.
Also, do you have experience with PHP? This would help much and it would
be great to get you more involved in our community.
Excellent!
Jon
