Developer discussion for Creative Commons technology and tools

[Nathan Kinkade <nkinkade AT creativecommons.org>]

That looks great, Maarten.  It had never occurred to me before that CC
Search could be widgetized until I read your message and thought about
it for a second.  It turns out the server-side fallback code for users
with javascript disabled is useful for more than just that purpose.  I
think this is actually useful enough to almost warrant publishing this
to the cc-affiliates@ list, or maybe cc-community@.  Various other
affiliates and/or community members might find it useful to add that
form to their websites.  Would you like to pass that information on?
