Revision as of 21:11, 13 June 2007

A list of curators of Creative Commons-licensed content. Please add following the examples, or restructure if you have a better idea. Feel free to add "fields". This is just a beginning. Please help make it comprehensive!

There is some minimum combination of quality and quantity for inclusion. We'll know it when we see it.

The entries are listed in ascending order of their main URL, ignoring "www." if present.

Not certain that something should be added to this list? Add it to Talk:Content Curators.

For short lists of notable works, see books and film. This article will eventually be broken up into format-specific directory/repository/curator articles.
