Developer discussion for Creative Commons technology and tools

["Cassio Melo" <cassio.ufpe AT gmail.com>]

Could you give your suggestions about this part of the proposal? It's a (little) scratch of what I'm planning to do in this project. Some works were done and I intend to work on them.

I will use webservices to retrieve licensing information from CC licensing engine (through REST interface) and mount the interface. It can be encapsulated as an UNO service, allowing better reuse. To store licensing information, Creative Commons provides simple RDF descriptions of its licenses. The 
OO.o file format could be manipulated as a zip file and it includes an XML file for metadata (meta.xml), which I could use for embedding the license information. For this, the OASIS Open Office XML format specification 
proposed by Nathan Yergler could be used as a reference.

Possible additional contributions (time permitting):
   - Make license text available as Auto Text;
   - Display license information when opening CC licensed documents;

 Once plugged, the license-selection software will appear as a menu option in the OpenOffice application. It will generate a Creative Commons logo, a short summary of the license chosen, and a hyperlink to the Creative Commons Web site.

The project goals, desirability for the add-in, its plan have been discussed on the CC-devel mailing list and ccWiki, where they received support from CC maintainers.  

Most likely implementing all the features will be possible after the end of Summer of Code and I'm commiting to perform it then.

I'll send the full proposal for review soon!

PS.: Yes, I'll review the english =)

Best regards,
Cassio
