[cc-community] to build the commons

Hi,

A thought came into my head last night as I drifted off to sleep. it
was a button... a url... a small campaign to encourage people to use
CC licenses that further free culture.

Coming at it from a community perspective (as opposed to CC's usual
creator perspective), it is obvious that works that allow deriv works
and commercial use are more useful than those that do not. Widespread
use of licenses with the ShareAlike clause also create a body of works
that starts life free and remains free -- the commons.

So I was imagining something like

allowderivativeworks.tobuildthecommons.cc
allowcommercialuse.tobuildthecommons.cc
usesharealike.tobuildthecommons.cc
(culminating in useccbysa.tobuildthecommons.cc)

This is kind of wordy. Alternate wordings welcome.

Anyway I would like to do this - just pretty simple pages for each,
with image buttons/badges for people to put on their blogs etc, and
maybe a short FAQ.

I can register the domain, host it etc, but my graphic design skills
are not much chop. I can tweak, but not design from scratch. Would
anyone be interested in partnering up to help me out with this?

thanks,
Brianna
