San Francisco, USA - October 19, 2005 - ccHost, an open source project that 
provides web-based infrastructure to support collaboration, sharing, and

    * favicon.ico: Moved into ccimages per legal review of the site.
    * cc-install-db.php: Changed some initial install values for the footer

The upcoming 1.1.0 release of ccHost will focus on expanding the types of files
that are supported by the system. Also, better statistics output are potential

About ccHost

The goal of this project is to spread media content that is licensed under 
Creative Commons throughout the web in much the same way that weblogs spread 
CC licensed text. ccHost is web-based infrastructure that may be used to host 
and allow for commenting, remixing, and distribution globally. The more 
installations of ccHost and its variations, the more content there will be 
available for enjoyment and artistic re-use in a sane and legal setting. ccHost
is what is used for the infamous Creative Commons CC Mixter project which 
supports legal media sharing and remixing. For more information, contact Jon
