Open Clip Art Library Release 0.18 Announcement :: www.openclipart.org

October 16, 2005 - Release 0.18 of Open Clip Art Library 
(http://www.openclipart.org), containing over 6900 SVG files created by over 
500 artists, is now available for download and use.

For the month of September, the Open Clip Art Library sought imagery related 
to pets including images of different breeds appropriate for use by animal 
shelters.

For the upcoming 0.19 release, due November 1, 2005, the theme is Halloween. 
This is any artist's chance to submit to the Open Clip Art Library images of 
ghosts and goblins, bats, witches, and pumpkins. The community would also 
welcome printable templates for creating holiday decorations usable in 
Inkscape, OpenOffice?, Scribus, and, or other graphics applications.

Some of the highlights from this release:

   * New top level categories 'science', 'electronics'
   * New subsections 'religion', 'astronomy', 'network', and more
   * Flags collection has been fleshed out / improved a bit more
   * Bunch of new signs/symbols
   * Lots of new vehicles, office, sports, music, and toys clipart

A lot of the previously 'unsorted' art is now sorted and moved into other 
categories, and several duplicates removed. While much more work is required 
before the collection is perfect, this release refines the collection for 
easier access.
