Gnome Integration

This is just a draft made of ideas to integrate Creative Commons licenses into the Gnome Desktop. A software repository has been created to host all patches and plugins still not accepted in the different projects.

Applications aware of CC licenses

• Inkscape
• Epiphany (with Epiphany CC Extension )
• Firefox (with MozCC plugin)
• Banshee (after SoC 2006 project CcBanshee is finished)
• Deskbar applet (with CC search handler). More integration can be achieved when this bug is solved.
• Please add more applications here :)

Things to be done to improve integration into the Gnome desktop

• Send bug reports to applications which could easily become aware of CC licenses. This could be done using Bugzilla.
• Send patches to existing Gnome applications to add CC licenses interaction using Bugzilla.
• If Freedesktop's Metadata Spec is modified to include a "license" field in first class objects specification, Tracker could be used to look for CC licensed files within the desktop. This could be done using Deskbar-applet as front-end.
• Please add more suggestions here :)
