Brian, did I get you access to our server? If not, please send me your
ssh2 key, desired username, and I'll get you access.

I have setup http://test.openclipart.org this weekend and have some
scripts for syncing up the live and test sites...I actually really like
working this way, even better than running my own installation at
home...so, if you are interested in hacking directly on a copy of the
site, this is a great way to go!

Cheers

Jon
