"building CC support into actual applications" is great at should be highlighted, but not ideal at all for a new contributor:
- Sometimes trivially simple, so much so not really interesting - Beyond the trivially simple, requires really significant understanding of relevant standards and practices and how they might relate to what application in question does - Either of the above requires long-term maintenance or functionality will quickly be abandonware, not working with new versions of application, etc But as a consequence of the above, fixing bugs and doing evaluations and filing bugs against existing code which builds, or once halfway-built CC support into some application is valuable, eg various extensions that have been developed for WordPress, Drupal, and Firefox. I think it'd be interesting for whatever becomes of a CC developer portal to also highlight applications that CC doesn't work on directly, but already do support CC in some fashion. This collection would be varied enough in implementation language, application domain, etc, that anyone who wants to code for free culture (or something like that) could find something they'd be really excited about. And improvements in applications that people use to create, curate, etc free culture, OA, OER, etc, are a big long-term win for CC. Some obvious applications: * Booki * Freesound * GNU FM * MediaGoblin * Mediawiki ....
