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.

Certainly.

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

Can you point out the relevant code?

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

Mediocre. I/we haven't been very proactive about telling people how they can help. Brian Heung, one of our interns, recently moved our horriblly out of date "tech challenges" to http://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/TechChallenges suggestions or better yet direct edits welcome.

It should be easier for outside developers to contribute at least to CC Publisher in the next couple months -- see http://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/CcPublisher#ccPublisher_2 for some beginning documentation of its extensibility from Nathan.

Also, there's a separate cctools-developer list that might be more appropriate for code discussions. http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cctools-developer
