Hi,

We did not get a response from you, so we deleted your project from the pending queue.

If you would still like to have your project hosted at Savannah, please register it again.

The re-registration URL found in our acknowledgment of your earlier registration will direct you to the proper location where you can re-register your project.

Regards.

Hi,

I am waiting for an answer from you.

If within one week I still do not get a reply, I will remove your project. You will still be able to register it again once you have the time to deal with the registration issues.

Are you still willing to host your project at Savannah? If not, please tell us - we don't bite, and it will make us gain time.

Regards.

Hi Paul,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

I cannot download the tarball that you point us, can you fix this
problem? I got an 404 error.

We wish to review your source code, even if it is not functional, to
catch potential legal issues early.

For example, to release your program properly under the GPL you must
include a copyright notice and permission-to-copy statements at the
beginning of every file of source code.  This is explained in
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.  Our review would help
catch potential omissions such as these.

Regards,

Jonathan Gonzalez V. <zeus>

  http://www.pcbypaul.com/linux/packages/abiword_clipart-2.2.7-2.tar.bz2

A clipart collection for use with word processors, particularly AbiWord. Since Abi had fits printing transparent and/or image formats other than PNG, I have collected a large collection of Public Domain images of several formats and rescaled, optimized, converted to PNG and "flattened" to make them work quickly. This makes them appropriate for a word processing application, rather than the much larger files one would want to start with to later edit in an image editor.
  The sources of images are all listed in the package, the bulk of which are from OpenClipart.org and SERP (The Science Education Resource Page): also the US History section mostly from Teaching Politics (public domain images of American Political History.)
 I also include a patch to AbiWord-2.2.7 source code to make the "Insert->Picture" menu item point to the Abi clipart dir, rather than current directory, which is not too intuitive -- but much like OpenOffice and others. The patch has not yet been accepted, but I am hopeful, as it makes finding the clipart much easier, especially for  al the schoolkids currently using AbiWord.(It is used throughout my ten-year-old's school.)
 Of course the images can be used for any purpose, not just AbiWord or even a word processor.But with them I finally got AbiWord on Linux to print consistently of excellent quality. Even thin lineart scales down cleanly, as if working with an SVG.


Other Software Required:
------------------------
  Clipart, so no dependencies except being able to use PNGs.
AbiWord patch useful if you use AbiWord, otherwise irrelevant.
