If the OOo leadership had listened to me 2 years ago, you would be the
one producing OOoPremium instead of some other group.

Daniel If you remember well I sent my collection to you. And I added
your collection
to my files. That time I translated lots of things collected by you...

I came up with the
idea of "OOo Premium" years ago, and I prepared the packages for all the
public domain clipart, photos and a user guide that I hoped would be
included in OOoPremium.

I did same! The I created installer. Sent links to maillists. One day
Charles asked for add-on installer the list. I sent my installer's
link again - you can guess - nothing happen. This year I have released
a much improved installer - an all in one solution. It rocks if you
check the news and download numbers. Here I want to say big thanks to
SUN core developers - They helped me a lot. :o)
--
Of course, that idea was met with less than
overwhelming enthusiasm. No someone else, years later, has gone and done
it.
--
Yes, we did it, but you have a good part in this story :o) Thank you!
--
but for plenty of reasons (mainly cliparts licensed under the GPL),
I helped found the OpenClipArt project to produce thousands of clip art
images in the public domain for OOo to use. They have been gracious
enough to make all those images PNG files because OOo can't open SVG. In
return all they got was indifference or worse.

SVG issue is a good example where Core Dev Stuff doesn't hear the voice of
users... They wanted it, voted it, but we have a semi-ready stuff from
external contributor. Thanks!
--
Those images are still there. They number at 7,000 by now, and they are
public domain. Is the OOo leadership interested in this yet? I am
exhausted so I will no longer help will that project, but maybe you can
find someone else who will.
--
I would, but lack of usable utilities, that can the all of the work... And
no SVG filter that can import such a complex SVG files. Firefox can show
it...
So it is not impossible...
