Hello,


Hi,

My name is Jon Phillips and I'm a developer on Inkscape.org and the
freedesktop.org supported projects, Open Clip Art Library, Create
Project (and the hopeful Open Font Library). During the day I work for
Creative Commons as a Developer and I'm interested in the areas you are
discussing on this list.

I recently came across your project by a posting by a developer hoping
for Creative Commons integration on the Gnome Desktop. I would like to
take this a step further for integration on the free desktop (including
KDE, Gnome, XFCE and others).

sounds good


Anyhow, I reviewed the Shared Metadata Spec. and am curious how Creative
Commons licensing, standards, and supported metadata could be integrated
and/or taken account of in the Shared Metadata Spec.


I plan on adding a File.License field - hopefully this should suffice.


There are several projects which would like to take advantage of the
Creative Commons licenses and also some specs. that I have created which
might be of interested to this list (which I am now a member of):

http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Desktop_Integration

http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Operating_System_Integration

http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Developer_Challenges

These are interesting.


Also, I'm curious how major this endeavour is, does it have the blessing
of the Portland Projects (OSDL, GNOME, KDE, etc) and if so, how can CC
best support this initiative?

The plan is to get it in gnome first (we will propose for 2.18 in october) then approach the other desktops


As I see there are a few levels that I would like to see metadata on the
desktop: 1.) on the operating system level (abstracted into a db, like
what you all provide) 2.) on the file level (embedded inside of a file)

I look forward to joining this discussion...

please do - Im keen to hear new ideas about this.

thanks
