Yes indeed, I have great pleasure in introducing the Mulburry symbol
set and straight-street web site.

This Open Symbol set is the creation of Garry Paxton (CCd) with others
and the idea is to provide a peer reviewed set of symbols that are
free and on liberal licencse such as CC. This should encourage
innovation and allow user development of require symbols (users are
initially Speech and Language Therapists who select symbols for
clients). The website provides a place for user community to request
and review symbols and to select and download them for local use.

At this point some 500 symbols are available and the initial set is
expected to be about 1000.
The symbols are WMF format only at the moment but SVG will be
available very soon.

Please note this is a preview and the web site is very much still
under development, in particular in my role of web developer I am just
porting over to a new host (the Open source friendly ukfsn.org) and
sorting out a few remaining issues with the site.

We would very much like comments and suggestions.

Web site: www.straight-street.ukfsn.org
Installer: http://www.straight-street.ukfsn.org/apps.php?id=17

You can view the symbols by going to the gallery and doing a search
(empty search returns all symbols).
Mouse over symbols to preview.
If you register and login then symbols can be added to the basket with
a click and then checked out as a zip.

Thanks
