Dennis Gilmore has been working with me today to make sure the liblicense 
Fedora packages are of top Fedora quality.  He's going to be testing them 
on a few more architectures, and then he'll sponsor the packages, which 
starts the ball really rolling downhill in the process of getting the 
package actually into Fedora.  (And I've been learning a lot about Fedora 
in this process....)

More than just bug triaging, I'd love to hear back from people who are 
actually using liblicense, or considering it.  I recall KDE discussion 
nearly a year ago, and every once in a while I hear a ping from them - I'd 
be happy to talk more.

As far as testing, we're in this weird situation of having a library but 
no real users for it yet.  The best thing to do is to imagine more 
applications of the library and start sliding it into place. (-:

The Nautilus extensions that were written last summer are my next target 
to put into distributions, and then I'll finish up the EOG and Rhythmbox 
plugins.  Those would be good demos, but obviously I'd love to hear about 
other ideas too!
