Ah, back to the open public lists...

I'm curious Hubert, if you have exempi included into any apps? And, what
distros exempi is included in?

http://libopenraw.freedesktop.org/wiki/Exempi

Have you had any luck with that and getting it into the core of the
desktop?

I'm trying to do an assessment of what needs to be done to get
liblicense into gnome and possibly some other targets apps so that it is
a default library on the major open source/free software desktops...

http://creativecommons.org/projects/liblicense

For those of you late to the party, liblicense is: Low-level license
metadata integration for applications.

The roadmap hasn't been updated in a while, but Asheesh/Nathan have been
working on it...

One of my goals is to get it into KDE and Gnome and major distros by
default: ubuntu, fedora, suse, gentoo (ok, that is not as high a
priority, but what I use...no lashing out at me on that one ;)

Before we discussed good target apps for liblicense integration
including miro, eye of gnome...are there other low hanging fruit ones to
add, and/or how can we encourage integration as part of google summer of
code?

Cheers!

Jon
