That is cool! I think though it would be good to make some generic C
library like:

libccmetadata

libcc

And, then make bindings for other languages like python, etc. The point
of this would be speed and to slap this kind of support into
pre-existing programs.

Inkscape already has a generic interface for editing cc-metadata, so
that could be extracted and placed somewhere as an example
implementation for developers.

What do you think?

It is great that you guys put up the cc projects into sf.net. How is the
building of the development community going?
