Roadmap

From Open Clip Art Library Wiki

This milestone documentation was started in November 2006.

In the Past, milestones for the Open Clip Art Library have been centred around the release of a Monthly (usually) package. However, as we have implemented the use of the new content engine, ccHost, the releases are going to become more dynamic and automated.
