I've been working on the GSoC 2009 project, where I'm working on certain updates to the existing Creative Commons Add-in for OpenOffice.org. This project is mentored by Nathan Yergler.
The main goals for this project is to provide the following updates to the existing plugin.
- Update the codebase to the OOo 3 SDK
- The license selection UI could be refined to provide help around what each option means (”what is Share Alike”).
- Display license information when opening CC licensed documents
- Internationalization – prepare the code for translation and write the scripts to integrate PO files prepared by translators
- Support for OOo Draw
- Add support for CC0
- Make a release incorporating Flickr Image Re-Use for OpenOffice.org.
As there are many distinct tasks, I'm working on complete the most I can. I have been struggling a bit in the past couple of weeks with my progress, but I'm now bouncing back and coming back to track.
I hope I'll be able to present the CC community with an updated version of the Add-in at the end of the project completion.
