Talk:Open Clip Art Library

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Where did it go?!

Oh, no! Has anyone found the Open Clip Art Library lately? Now it redirects to freedesktop.org, with nothing but a question about it on freedesktop's Software Page. Does anyone know what happened? Openclipart.org was really doing well, and it was great to have an open clipart site without restrictions or huge banners for the massive pay-per-use clipart sites. So sad. :-( --Sboots 01:05, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

This is being discussed on the OCAL mailing list. Apparently, it was shut down because of the amount of bandwidth being used, which was caused by someone trying to download the packages every few seconds. So it should be back again once this is sorted out. --Zundark 09:14, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Should be something about the apparent extended reorganization (or whatever it is), which has resulted in no official new release in over a year now (October 17th, 2005)... AnonMoos 03:53, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] www.openclipart.org down

The site currently responds with the message "You've come to gabe.freedesktop.org. Maybe you were looking for www.freedesktop.org. If this is the case, please ask whoever sent you here to update their URLs." Presumably (judging from the above comments) it has been this way for several months at least. --ozzmosis 07:48, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

No, only about two weeks - it's not the same problem as above. It will hopefully be up again this week, running on a new server. --Zundark 08:19, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Ought we not add something to the article stating that it is currently offline? I will do so if there are no objections. User:Arawn
