I agree.  But it also seems the most straight forward way when  
possible is for the people who made them to upload their own.   
Certainly for people who submitted a lot of files. But that's an  
ideal and not everyone is willing or able to do that.  Those chunks  
of files will reduce the workload, then I think 50-100 file chunks   
is a great idea.

I talked with Jon about this and I repacked the openclipart-zerobyte- 
recovery-2006-Mar-21.tar.bz2 files ( after cleaning them up) into  
folders by author.  He was going to think about how to upload them  
preserving the author.  I've left that to him, not knowing anything  
about the code.  But the archive is ready to be uploaded when I get  
someone tells me where.
