Developer discussion for Creative Commons technology and tools

[Nathan Yergler <nathan AT creativecommons.org>]

A few comments, some echoing Bjorn's existing comments:

* We should probably support storing attribution information as well
as the license URI
* You can modify the database, although it's probably best to try and
structure this like a plugin -- creating your own database table and
joining it to the media table.  WP has an API for this.
* I have zero interest in storing an XML file on the disk; WP stores
things in a database, we should put anything we do there as well.
* Yes, a link to the license should be visible (probably both in the
media manager and definitely when the media is embedded in a post).
