[Toolserver-l] Google Art Project ripping

[Derrick Coetzee]

FYI I am in the process of gathering images from the Google Art Project.
I've uploaded a small sample to Commons which you can see here:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Google_Art_Project

And one really, really, big image to the Internet Archive (because it's
>100MB):

http://www.archive.org/details/VincentVanGogh-StarryNight-GoogleArtProject

I won't be making any more uploads until I have all the images and there are
artwork templates filled out on Commons for all the ones that will be
uploaded.
