Overview
The project aims to create an archive of user contributed clip art that can be freely used.
Main part of the project is the website http://www.openclipart.org, powered by open source software CcHost. On the website users can submit their own images, "remixes" of other users' images or vectorized clip art from external sources. In March 2009 the collection had 10 000 images and more than 1000 contributors.
Before 2006 the collection was released regularly as packages available for download. Last such package is Open Clip Art Library 0.18 (see downloads page: http://openclipart.org/media/viewfile/downloads.xml). The images were manually sorted into categories. Now there is a daily tarball of unsorted images (from http://download.openclipart.org/downloads/) and new 0.19 release is being prepared.
