there was some recent talk about including additional templates in
OpenOffice.org as distributed by Fedora:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2005-March/msg00478.html
the discuss was expanded later to other extras, like clipart.
it appears other distributors are doing exactly this: add a lot of
extras to their version of OOo, for example Novell is planning to
include images from the Open Clip Art Library:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/clipart/2005-March/002539.html
someone has created a rpm which probably will go in Fedora Extras
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2005-March/msg00566.html
but IMO, something better is needed: integration - either include the
clip art images in an OOo gallery using the patch from Novell or modify
the OOo menu, adding a new item Insert->Pictures->Clipart which will
point to the location of the installed images.
also i think is worth judging the usefulness of including a *selection*
of clipart in Core (i know in FC5 will not matter much if a package is
in Core or Extras, this is about the next release, FC4).
my take is: including clipart in the default install can benefit the
overall value of the desktop, but also the size constraints should be
considered.
