HELP TEST: Open Clip Art Library’s new engine, ccHost now support SVG

Hello, I posted over at Open Clip Art Library’s website, but I wanted to get maximize readership:

Hello, our new engine, ccHost, now accepts SVG files thanks to the great work by Roan! Everyone should +10 thank him! Please see the great functioning test site: http://www.openclipart.org/cchostSo, please help us best by uploading test SVG files to this installation. We hope to move to it very shortly (hopefully within the week). There are still a few tasks in the migration we need help with such as:

  1. export of our content from the old system to the new one
  2. SVG thumbnails
  3. writing metadata to SVG files in getid3
  4. migration of old web content from old site to the new one

The tasks are listed on the ccHost Migration page on the wiki. Please e-mail the mailing list or hop onto our chat channel, #openclipart on irc.freenode.net if you want to help out. We are very close now to switching to this new infrastructure. If you are having any problems uploading to the present site, please try the new one at http://www.openclipart.org/cchost. Thanks!

    That’s awesome ! I have many SVGs sitting on my machine and wanted to find a way to share it with the members of my team.
    May I suggest the ability of download a resterized version at a custom size ?
    If this is not on the roadmap, I volunteer to code it, once the thumbnail code is in ;)
    Is there a built-in revision system or interaction with svn/cvs to manage different versions of the files ?

    Just tested it, and it’s really great. That’s exactly what I’ve been waiting for. I guess I’ll try to install it, where should I get it ?
