Change Default For Tags Search
I'm a regular in our IRC channel (#opengameart) and I've noticed lots of newcomers asking about finding new art on OGA. The main issue is that they specify multiple tags and then the search results with nothing (or just two things). Reason for this is that they did not change the "Is all of" field to "Is one of". This is something that even I forget often, and I do not understand why by default it is set to "Is all of". I would personally suggest to either set this field to "Is one of" by default or make it much more visible/noticeable to the user.
Another issue tends to be from people who are not native English speakers who get confused by some of the fields, in which case I would like to know if there are any plans on making OGA multilingual. If there is an attempt I am willing to aid in Spanish and Japanese translations. I would also suggest that the files used for the translations be put in a git repo so that they are publically accessable and people can contribute to them.
Just my two cents.

Alright, let's give that a shot. NOTE: This may be a temporary change. This is experimental!
I personally prefer "is all of" because I typically like to have very specific results, but I think you're right. When someone searches for their tags and sees no results, they may tend to think "oh, I guess it doesn't exist", whereas if they search for all those tags but see too many results they probably think "oh, wow. I need to narrow my search. How can I do that? Ah, there's a handy dropdown for that!"
I have no problem clicking the dropdown and changing it to "is all of" each time I search, but if anyone sees problems with the new default, say so.
--Medicine StormThanks! Also, anything on multilingual support? Or is there no plan for that yet? I'll help if you guys need it.

Multilingual support is way above my authority, to be honest. I don't know anything about drupal's language setup. There is certainly no plan for that at this time, but I'm guessing the cost/benefit ratio is prohibitive.
Your willingness to help out is definitely a step toward feasibility, though. Thanks. :)
