Sodipodi flags 1.0

This is the first release of the Sodipodi flag collection. This collection currently consist of over 210 different international and local flags. The flags are donated by their authors into the public domain. The flags are in the scalable and free SVG format which today is supported by most major vector graphics programs.

The assembly of this huge collection has been made possible thanks to the hard work of many people. We big thank you goes to all our contributors listed in the CREDITS file distributed with this package. We would especially like to thank Tobias Jacobs, Sigge Kotliar, Cezary Biel, Brett Roper, Daniel McRae and Lauris Kaplinski, whose contributions count for around half the collection.

Congratulations and thank you to all who have made this possible. Having a complete collection of SVG flags in the public domain will be of great benefit to SVG and to the technical world in general. This project is also proving to be an excellent example of the power of the open source development model in action. Keep up the great work everyone!
