This page is a dump of various ideas we've had related to the goal of making CC-licenced material easier to find and to use.
At the core is a registry. It will:
* Store a blockhash (or similar) of an image.
* Associate that with licence information.
* Provide that information via an API for consumption by other websites and a simple web interface.
* Provide a revocation mechanism to deal with potential copyright claims quickly.
* Perhaps one day work with other kinds of works, not just images.
It is not intended to:
* Be a store of images, though it may be worthwhile to store the image as well as the blockhash for future upgrades/features)
* Be authoritative. That's impossible. But it will source the images from relatively trustworthy places.
Here are potentials subprojects to take on to get this done:
