Hi there,

I planning to submit an application for Google Summer of Code 2007 but
before that I'd like to hear from you some opinions about my ideas:

- An OpenOffice Writer add-on for publishing and searching CC licensed
documents;

I haven't thought much about integrating search, but an OpenOffice.org
implementation of what the Microsoft Office Addin
(http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Microsoft_Office_Addin) does would be
killer. Some additional thoughts on how it might work are available
at http://wiki.creativecommons.org/OpenOfficeOrg_Addin.

- A Google Desktop plugin for searching CC licensed content

That could be interesting; are you thinking about searching the user's
hard drive for CC licensed content or providing a web search interface
for searching CC licensed content? In the former case, have you
thought much about how to handle the different file formats?

Thanks for your interest; looking forward to your application,

Nathan
