I noticed that we don't have anything to tell Inkscape users that they can get more patterns from the openclipart.org site. Long term there is great potential for collaboration in all sorts of different ways, but I have a simple idea to start with:
Presumably Inkscape will ship with at least a few templates, perhaps five small sample gradients, and five small sample patterns.
Here is where helping OpenClipArt.org bit comes in - why not just put in a pattern that points people there? It'd be easy to set up, and non-intrusive since only users already looking at the patterns would see it.

The whole pattern is a link to http://www.openclipart.org/
Please let me know what you think, I really hope you will accept this suggestion.
And thanks Bryce for your help (he knows why, say no more).
Sincerely
Alan Horkan
