Sodipodi SVG flags 1.0

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.
Most flags are done using the Sodipodi vector drawing application.
In others words these are free flags in a free format made with a
free application.

The core collection of flags in this collection are meant to be
as accurate as possible. If you discover flags in here that have
wrong proportions or wrong colors then please update the flag with
the correct colors or sizes and send it to us with an
explanation.

New flags are of course also welcomed, but remember we need a
clear statement from you that you dedicate the flag to the public
domain, preferably using the Creative Commons public domain
dedication process found here:
http://creativecommons.org/license/publicdomain-2

We do hope that many of you take some time to help us make this an
even more complete collection.

We hope that this collection can be useful to people in many
different settings be that in relation to software, publishing,
education and so on.

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.

You can see all of the currently contributed flags here:

The creation of these flags had not been possible without the
hard work that free software coders have put into great tools like
Sodipodi and librsvg. The projects have helped increase the
viability of SVG in free and open source software a lot.

Both these two tools and the new Inkscape project do need more
coders in order to improve further. For instance you will notice
that many of the SVG flags do not render correctly in Nautilus due
to some problems with librsvg. People interested in working on
these and other issues are highly encouraged to join the project
mailing-lists. You find the projects here:
http://www.sodipodi.org
http://librsvg.sf.net
http://www.inkscape.org

You can download the package in either tar.gz or zip format from
the sourceforge file area:
