    I've mentioned it to Greg, and I still believe, that perhaps

    an extension.  Such that you could run them side by side, and
    then drag
    and drop files into Inkscape.  This would also allow it to be
    used with
    other applications in a similar way.  I think that is probably
    a
    stronger paradigm for using it.

    I think also, from the marketing perspective, making it "OCAL
    Browser"
    is better than "The Inkscape Extension for OCAL".  This way it
    can be
    made to work with applications like Illustrator and promote
    OCAL. 

This sounds like a good idea, and requires minimal changes to the code. But I'm theoretically working on this for Inkscape, as far as Google is concerned. Would a stronger separation from Inkscape be tolerable?

I think its one of those things that we define, and if this is the best solution, then this is the solution :)

I think the most important part is to basically just get interoperability down.

So, then my question is where to host the code? Should it be a new project on the sf.net inkscape page, or now under Open Clip Art Library's CVS?

Thoughts?
