[Wikipedia-l] Wikiclips (was Re: Map Symbols)

JP> Maybe a novel idea would be to make separate project on JP> sourceforge that is svg clipart. Like svg-clipart.sf.net would JP> be great.

JP> It would be totally cool to use CVS to design with and allow JP> ppl. from all over the world to work on designs. JP> Thoughts? (I hope I haven't just gotten a little too utopian) I think you're totally utopian, which is great! What I wonder is whether a Wiki format might not work better for collaboration than CVS. CVS requires setting up user permissions for lots of people, and it can be a hassle. Wikis lower the bar for participation considerably. The Wikimedia Foundation has a number of Wiki-related projects going on. There's a big demand for images from Wikipedia and the other related projects. I've started a proposal on the Meta-Wikipedia Wiki about doing a Wikiclip clip-art Wiki site: http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiclip It'd be interesting to see how this could develop. ~ESP -- Evan Prodromou <evan(a)wikitravel.org> Wikitravel - http://www.wikitravel.org/ The free, complete, up-to-date and reliable world-wide travel guide
