Developer discussion for Creative Commons technology and tools

[Nathan Yergler <nathan AT creativecommons.org>]

Hi Akila,

Glad to hear you're interested in applying once again. One quick piece
of feedback that comes to mind is that it'd be good to contact the
Scribus developers/community and see if they're open to this work.
It's not clear to me from below whether or not the C++ plugins can be
distributed separately; if not, we want to lay the groundwork for
pushing that upstream.

Overall it sounds like there's some good opportunities here for both
marking the created documents with a license (support for a visible
license notice will be critical), as well as the clip art/image
support like the OpenOffice/LibreOffice add-on has.

Look forward to reading your proposal!

Nathan
