timothy,

how to withdraw my participation in cc-community?  I get too much mails, that don't find my awareness/interest anyway.
my interests:

realizing an eco-model-city in germany, the US ore elsewhere, integrating living and working and...: looking for investors, partners, architects...

how to network/communicate these themes effectively with others in internet?

> 
> Creative Commons today announced the expansion of a documentation project
> to
> explain various facets of Creative Commons licensing. The initiative
> includes links and PDF downloads to information on critical CC
> specifications, recommendations, research studies and tutorials. Some of
> the
> topics covered include the CC+ and CC0 projects, a simple licensing
> how-to,
> and best practices for integrating Creative Commons licensing in websites.
> The documentation project also offers posters, flyers and other creative
> media such as the "Sharing Creative Works" comic book. These documents may
> be downloaded directly from the Creative Commons Documentation page (
> http://creativecommons.org/projects/documentation) and are suitable for
> high
> quality printing and display.
> 
> Alex Roberts, Senior Designer at Creative Commons, explained the benefits
> of
> the documentation initiative. "We're always trying to make Creative
> Commons
> licenses easier to understand and use. From the beginning, CC has
> championed
> human-readable copyright licenses. Our documentation project works to
> extend
> this practice by offering short guides and explanations to a variety of CC
> topics." All of the documentation is released under a Creative Commons
> Attribution license for redistribution, reuse and remix.
> 
> In addition to the documents created by staff, Creative Commons called
> upon
> the larger community to help build a rich documentation portfolio. Jon
> Phillips, Community & Business Development Manager at Creative Commons,
> said
> that user participation is crucial in the documentation process. "There
> are
> so many interesting projects using Creative Commons licenses. We need to
> be
> able to draw upon these innovative organizations and talented individuals
> to
> help define and share their best practices. We've provided the framework
> and
> source files for many of our documents to get this process rolling."
> Creative Commons also asked for help from the broad community of CC
> adopters
> and open content supporters to help translate the PDF documents into other
> languages.
