[Clipart] Librarian jobs

[Leonardo Cunha]

Hi,

"3. *Add a space after each comma to all tag lists that have this format
"tag,tag,tag,tag"*. We want this "tag, tag, tag, tag"
This will stop the tag lists of each clipart breaking the page. This format
is leftover from the old OCAL cchost system and doesn't look very good on
our new system."

We could/should have a guideline on the upload page or even some kind of
validation, because I have been fixing lots of "tag,tag,tag,tag" from recent
submissions.

Best regards,
Leonardo Cunha
