[Clipart] Librarian jobs

[chovynz]

Oh no! dude, I wasn't saying you were complaining. I've been there and 
that's the reason I made that wiki entry guideline - to make teh OCAL 
website look better. But after thinking about it for a few months I have 
come to the conclusion that it's an absolute waste of Librarian time to 
be fixing comma spaces. I don't want to waste your time. Your time is 
too precious to waste on trivial things like commas. That particular job 
can be done automatically.

Unfortunatly, I don't yet have the skills to do make that happen. So in 
the mean-time, we can do it manually, or if you have php skills you can 
help guide me through actually making that automatic tool!

So, again I say, keep up the great work dude! Keep in contact, keep 
exploring ways you can help.

Cheers
Chovynz
