Hey,
Would it be possible for you to pull your branch up-to-date with trunk (if it isn't already), and then create a patch and then upload it and link it from that wiki page? (more people are likely to test that way than another checkout)
Cheers, Josh

Hi Guys,
So I have been doing a lot of work on the Import from OCAL dialog and I have finally finished! I was wondering whether I could get some testing, especially on some different platforms with different internet connections.
All you need to do is get my branch using: bzr branch lp:~and471/inkscape/ocal-dialog-improvements
And then compile as usual. You will find the dialog in File > Import Clip Art
So yeah, basically I want a lot of testing, to iron out any errors that I have missed and also feedback on the stuff I have done. Then once that is all done, I shall propose for merging into trunk.
A list of changes is below, as well as a link to screenshots of the new dialog.
Thanks!
