Wondering if there has been any discussion/consideration of
association with openclipart library? Seems like a natural

Tom, such an association should be a two way street. On the Open Clip
Art Library website OpenOffice.org is listed as an affiliate, but on
the OOo website OCAL is not mentioned at all. Even more, it used to be
mentioned at http://contributing.openoffice.org/art.html but the link
was removed.
We are doing a redesign of the OCAL website and in this process I
proposed for OOo will be removed from the affiliates list, but this
was not yet decided.
Folks,
We do link to openclipart via our third party page. I think we should
rethink this as a result of this email.
Please put forward your ideas on this important subject.
I wasn't aware they wanted to partner. If that is the case, I
wouldn't mind putting a main link on the site. There clipart is
opensource, etc. So why not?
I haven't been paying close attention to this, but I was under the
impression that requests had been made repeatedly to have the
OpenClipart link restored to where it had been on the main OOo
website. As Nicu said in the note quoted above, there had been a link
once but it was removed some time ago. I think that may have happened
around the same time that the link to OOoAuthors was removed from the
main site's Contributing page on Writing.
I don't keep track of the main OOo website, they have never made the
request here. I would love to link to them from Doc, to fix an ongoing
issue, no clipart. ;-)
You used the term "partner" above. What does "partner" mean in the
context? How does a separate site become (or qualify as) a partner?
Just curious.
It was a term loosely meaning that they link to us, and we link to
them. If someone wants to provide clipart, then it would be good to
point them there, as they already have the infrastructure to handle it.
Clipart is one of those things that will probably not be added to the
OOo download because of size. If we can point people in the right
direction it will help.
This thread reminds me that I should make a note on the new main Docs
page that most of the clipart is from OpenClipart. I'll do that on my
next revision.
Great idea. THANKS for all your work on this. It is amazing.
