Hi all,
the website project discusses a way to present OpenOffice.org extensions
more prominently on the website.
One of the four main topics among these extensions are cliparts that can
be integrated in the program's gallery that is quite poor in comparison
to the cliparts in MS Office.
What do you think about creating new clipart galleries?
They can presented for download on the wiki, and if we consider them to
be good enough to become official, they should be moved to an official
artwork gallery and might be integrated in the core program in a second
step.
IMHO this might be an excellent opportunity for us to take a quite
important task for the program as well as to improve the Art Project's
position in the OOo community.
Do you think we could manage such a task?
It would consist of several steps:
- creation of the artwork
- integrating it in a new clipart gallery in OOo
- creating an extension for easy integration by the user
Clipart under Public Domain is available at the OpenClipart.org project
at http://www.openclipart.org.
Step two is a bit tricky as OOo doesn't import all complex vector files
without any problem, but I managed it for quite a number of files from
the clipart contest in 2006, so I'm confident that I remember how it worked.
For step three I'm going to provide a short how-to in the wiki.
There are a few extensions available already at the extension website
and at the PrOOo-Box the de-project provides:

http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/freie-schaltzeichen
http://live.prooo-box.org/de/html/gallery.html (sorry, German text)
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/oxygenoffice-gallery
(non-free)
Does anybody know about other clipart extensions?
What are your thoughts in general?
Best regards
Bernhard
