If you can hand off the import to python, we can make a base module with all the auth and other bits (if needed) to handle many types of imports, including from inkscape.org
It seems a shame that save as an be python, but import from can not.
Martin,
Ok Martin, I write to Lorna Stokes from the contest about legal problems, ability to join as a group or organization and so on. I ping you when recibe reply.
Btw, keep in mind with OCAL all content is Public Domain, whereas with this new one there is more of a multiplicity of licenses including ones requiring attribution or share-a-like, neither of which we enforce or even strongly communicate in Inkscape right now.
For proper rights management at the document level, Inkscape would need to somehow track the licenses of imported materials and then ensure only license-compatible additions are presented to the user. Which would be a very cool feature to have in Inkscape but is not on our roadmap right now.
Since OCAL materials are public domain we don't have to worry about any of that. Users can safely trust that any clipart they load won't affect their own personal copyright and licensing options, without thinking about it.
If this new service has an appreciable amount of collateral that is also public domain, and can give us a hook to pull only those items into inkscape, then that would be the cleanest solution. Anything else would (should) require making the Inkscape user aware of licensing conditions IMHO.

Total agee. I want to get only full usable content. I think this source have plenty of old impressive works. Also maybe have a public domain recent works. I ping to the org about this thing.
