I recommend focusing on the remaining integration tasks and the font audit. Do you mean quality control? Or copyright control? (Or both?) First the appropriate licensing and authorship checks but then the quality control of the fonts themselves is also a goal: tarball structure

Nicholas, do we have a package of our fonts? Some of the quality open fonts published on the OFLB are already packaged by the distro team in Debian/Fedora in their own package. Packaging and the corresponding review and checking procedure is really best left to distro teams and their members as

Also, would anyone want to take on this task to help do monthly release of the fonts? Setting up a cronjob is a nice way to keep it always happening, and save like the last 30 days of files at a time in the package, then just take the 1st of the month and make a new package! I hate to

Cool! Why don't we just install your script on the server and make it a cronjob? Also, please make a link to the original file locations on the site and a link to all the fonts too for each font listing. That would be very cool addition! Dave and Ben are meeting on monday in London to talk about

Cool, but I totally support efforts like Iwan's to push through our blockages...In fact, I hope we can support these efforts more on our site(s) too. Nicholas, do we have a package of our fonts? I have software which can do the packaging and we can put into a cronjob. Anyone interested in this?

svn checkout https://svn.openclipart.org/public/openclipart/packager/trunk packager But, that is configured for clipart currently. Bonus points if someone wants to genericize the package to work for fonts to at OFLB. Its architected pretty general and can just take in the big folder and package

Hello, Being unhappy with the browse function, I used the Linux command line environment to download (nearly) all fonts from OFL and create a brows-able HTML page showing (nearly) all of them. Here is the link: http://qubodup.net/fonts/all.html WARNING! 13MB ON ONE PAGE! THIS MIGHT TAKE A WHILE
