I'm pleased, very pleased that OCAL is back online.
I'm not so pleased that I can't take credit for crashing the site. ;) (But I am relieved.)
Today I updated the javascript copyright violation detection script. Then went nuts because Papapishu is back! Yay! Veteran Librarian from way back returns to strike fear into the digihearts of evil clipart. Beware...beware!
Johnny Automatic is still pumping at the clipart. Go Johnny!
Darth Gimp is back! And fresher than ever. He'll be bringing his Sith powers and justice to bare on the cliparts that don't obey him.
A moment of silence for Nicubunu. Until nsfw browsing is implemented he doesn't want to contribute much to the library. {silence} Personally, I just think he wants more attention and librarian lovin... ;)
We also have a host of new/regular librarians helping too! A shout out to all of you! You guys rock so much I could cry. You can read more about what a librarian does for the Open Clipart Library at http://www.openclipart.org/librarians.
A few more css jobs were done. I cleaned up the frontpage a little, tightened up the spacings of the clipart and text so that it's more readable, swept out some digital dust. Overall, I'm pleased with how OCAL is shaping up. It's taken a long time, with many problems along the way, many more solved, and a few lost artists (because of misunderstandings or simply not knowing about comments posted - there was no indicator of comments made, and emailing has been broken for quite awhile now.) Things are starting to tighten up again and work like they are supposed to.
I do love working in/with/for OCAL. I'm wishing there was some way to get paid for it though. This is a big job, for a fantastically great idea. I love the whole concept and I think I always will.
I know! If you want to help me out, you could donate some moolah to me! I promise that if you do donate, all proceeds will go directly to me and OCAL won't see any of it since I intend on spending it all on myself and my family.
