i have written a plug-in for TheGIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program

creator of the image and embeds it into the image file.

What gets embedded in the file? XML conforming to your DTD?

even at this infant stage, it is pretty cool. I had it working like
this photoshop plugin: http://creativecommons.org/technology/xmp-help,
but i wanted more from mine. it launches a localhost from the users
online computer, goes to the creative commons licensing page where the
user steps through the license process and then adds the information
directly to the image. No need for the user to select the license or
the template from the plug-in after doing all this work on the creative
commons web site.

FWIW we do have a web services interface for choosing a license if you did want to build the license choosing process in rather than sending the user to the website. ccPublisher, also written in Python, uses this interface.

information i hope to get from this mail list includes:
1) what is a good partner name

Not sure what you're asking.

2) what other meta data would be good for my little multi-platform
data file? (what do you want to bet that gimp-python works on mac and
windows before photoshop works on gnu/linux?)

If you used RDF (or XMP, a subset of RDF) you wouldn't have to worry about this.
