*Nod* I am, and I sense that a number of others are also willing to
contribute assistance.  Uraeus, Yemu, and several others have been
instrumental in making this project a success, and I'm confident that
together the team can keep the project going.  Many hands make for short
work.

However, this same concern over having a semi-dead project is why I am
first taking the approach of trying to unite it with the existing Flags
of the World project

Further, I would definitely like to continue to keep this strongly
associated with Sodipodi.  I think you're right that there is strong
synergy to having such an association.

Yes.  I took the approach of making it a component of another project I
worked on.  I had planned to break it out into a separate project if it
caught on, but it never did.  If something comes together for SVG
clipart, I definitely plan to submit it.
