[Clipart] librarians

[John Olsen]

Seems lately that I am doing almost all the librarian work on the  
site.  If there are people on the list that would be able to assist in  
the librarian job I can give them admin status to help out.  Basically  
you just need to review some of the new files that come in and see  
that they conform to the site guidelines - http://openclipart.org/wiki/Guidelines 
  - as well as just being valid SVG files.  There is also work to be  
done with items marked for clean-up.  Currently their are over 100  
files that need some type of clean up.  While it would be nice if all  
submitters followed the guidelines and fixed their problems, it just  
isn't the reality.

The link errors on the site do not make the job of getting to all  
these files easy.  I have had to figure creative ways to find some of  
them when the "cleanup" "pd_issue" and other links fail at certain  
marker points.  But any help staying ahead of the job is much  
appreciated.

We could also benefit from the admins enriching the tags field on alot  
of the clipart.  Many of the submitters leave this blank or have just  
one very generic word such as "icon" for the tags.  I imagine those  
submitters for whom English is not their primary language find it  
especially hard.  Right now tags are the only efficient way to find a  
category of art so the tags are very important.

Anyway, if anyone wants to lend some help I can explain the librarian  
job in better detail to them.
