This is so cool and a brilliant idea that is not a 10000 line email,
great!
Evan, I can connect you up with OSUOSL folks who mirror tons of content
and host openclipart.org, openfontlibrary.org and more. This is a really
great idea to work with standard open source mirrors to mirror
content...should this be any free as in BY-SA or more free, or anything
CC licensed and/or pd?
Thoughts? Oh know, am I opening up a 10,000 line email thread? Watch
out!!!! btw, I'm kindly joking about the 10K email friends :)
Jon
