to rerelease under CC0.
Hi!
I just love Drupal. I am a graphic designer (not a php developer), and
still I work fine with drupal, specially with the 'views' and 'cck'
modules, which will be completely ported to the corecode in Drupal 7!

I am just adding a vote of confidence here. Aiki conversion of
openclipart created all the scripts and techniques for converting a
ccHost based site to Aiki, like OCAL. Bassel and others from OCAL can

Okay cool! :-)
I will try to get drupal and aiki set up on
test
The evident success of the Open Clipart Library would speak well to the

its focus on communitites and is pretty mature and established (already
in V6 imho).
I have no information about Aiki and cannot compare it to drupal in
terms of features or technica
