Project Cliparts galleries

[Guy Waterval <wa...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I would produce next year educational cliparts galleries (between 100 to
150 images maximum for one gallery)  in the biological area, especially
microscopic ones, because I've at home the necessary equipement to do that
and I'm retired, so I could also invest in such an activity on  the long
term.

The photographies should be also uploaded in a higher resolution in
Wikimedia Commons. One single langage for the names (English). Such an
activity could also allow me to enter in contact with different
institutions and schools, perhaps also an opportunity to attract the
attention on the project here.

So I'm collecting some ideas and advices to get a better idea of the
feasability and the possible interest  of such a project.

   - Which resolution should be suitable to allow a correct reuse in
   OpenOffice modules without to be too heavy. (the material is not intended
   to the production of posters of course.)
   - File type : PNG, JPEG, etc.
   - Licence : ccbysa, ccby (to make it compatible with the Alv2.0
   licence), or double licence : ccbysa and Alv2.0. It seems to me interesting
   to put somewhere an Alv2.0  licence for advertising for the AOO project.

I could come to the FOSDEM with some examples of what  could produced in
this educational area.

What do you think about such a project : interesting or not, other ideas
are of course welcome.
.
Many thanks

A printer's "rule of thumb" is that in normal circumstances a printed document of good quality does not require a finished resolution of greater than 180-210 dpi (for information: these convert to 70-85 dots per cm) so I would suggest at least 210 dpi, possibly 300 dpi to allow for the tendency of users to think  that "bigger is better".  OpenOffice likes .PNG format best, so that should certainly be one of the formats, and perhaps a JPG
