Coloring Books

A practical use of our images could be to create coloring books for kids. I would like to create the books using a CreativeCommons license, most likely Share Alike. We can put the books as a free download (PDF) at our website and use lulu.com to sell a printed copy (this can be sold at cost or if the initiative is successfull, with a small profit to finance some OCAL activities).

Here is a sample of how such a book would be constructed:

Keeping the books at a small size of pages would allow for:

small download of the PDF; low price on the printed version; multiple books with certain themes (animals, landscapes, fantasy, halloween, etc.); simple process for creating a book.

Could the images be created with the help of the Outline ("wireframe") display mode of Inkscape ? Or is that impossible to export?

The main problem I'm aware is the poor PDF export in Inkscape.

-You could use something other than Inkscape, since the pages are very simple. Or using a PDF printer (like PDF Creator on Windows) might work
