A reusable repository would be amazing, although I don't know what our bandwidth limits are. Inkscape actually has an "Import from openclipart.org" option in the file menu where you can just enter a keyword and see thumbnails come up. If you click on one and click insert it instant;y appears on the page (*ahem* timeline?). Possibly even some hosting site that allows downloads (such as Blip.tv) could take care of bandwidth.

This would be a stunning addition, unlike anything I've seen. I suspect though that without some web services savvy person overseeing this that it would divert important resources away from Kdenlive's core mission of providing a powerful, easy to use editing suite with stable core features.

Great idea though!
