The RDFa Support for Semantic Media Wiki (http://wiki.creativecommons.org/RDFa_Support_for_Semantic_Media_Wiki) looks interesting. Does anyone know where the code is in the svn or git repositories? I would like to be able to take a quick look at it. I am much better with PHP than I am with Java, which is why it peaked my interest a little more.

Well completely unrelated to the browser plugin, but two projects that
have had some work done and really need work to get them deployable
are http://wiki.creativecommons.org/RDFa_Support_for_Semantic_Media_Wiki
and http://wiki.creativecommons.org/OpenOffice_Plugin_Updates.  They
use Java and PHP respectively.  Both have some rather large code bases
to work with, but getting either one polished up would be really
useful to us.
