All quite on the Art front, =) Hi Bernhard, all,

I think this is a great idea and I do believe it will have all the positive results you mention below. While I'm slightly busy these days (like everyone else) I'd love to chip in artwork to go towards OOo clipart. I think this gives us the opportunity to make our clipart a little more consistent than Microsoft Office's too. I'm on board. Do you think there will be a list of "common" clipart desirables, like "person using computer", "computer connected to globe", "person making presentation"? A list like this would be handy so Art members can pick what they can do. Also, since quite a few works will have people in them, maybe we could come up with a standard look and feel for these people? Best regards.

Create high quality clipart galleries! 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/GalleryDangerSigns 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?
