I want as much developer info as possible to live on the wiki -- I and 
the tiny CC staff just can't do the subject justice.  There's 
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Developer, please improve it! :)

I'd love to tap the worldwide community for CC tech stuff, any advice? 
Maybe the partner web guidelines should mandate a link to a developer 
page (that's a joke!).

I agree.  I've done a crappy job of communicating with open source 
developers, it's a personal priority to change that.  Immediately the 
plan is to move developer/tech info to the wiki, code discussion to the 
cctools-developers list, and be available on IRC.  More stuff later...
