Hello,

I have just submitted a proposal for the Google Summer of Code to update the Drupal Creative Commons module.[0] Feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I'm looking for feedback on two things in particular.

I'm especially concerned about feedback for the second phase of my proposal. I had imagined that I could first update the module to support the latest version of Drupal, and then begin implementing liblicense support. But, as I've looked into liblicense, it doesn't appear that there are PHP bindings available yet. Is it worth keeping this in the proposal, or, given the current absence of PHP bindings, is that another GSoC project in and of itself?

Second, on the Creative Commons module page, there is a note: "This module will soon be updated for Drupal 6 for Denver Open Media <http://www.denveropenmedia.org/> as part of a generous grant from the Knight News Challenge <http://www.newschallenge.org/tools_for_public_access_tv>." I am about to email Denver Open Media for feedback as well, but I am hoping that my development efforts can work in conjuction with theirs, as there is a lot of development to be done (more features for Drupal 6, soon support for Drupal 7, the liblicense support idea, etc...). I hope that effort can be combined, rather than duplicated, if we're working on the same module. Does this make sense? Or is that a serious concern?

Thanks,
Blaise Alleyne
