As a part of this brainstorming, please know that
we have very good
friends at Flickr. I see Stewart and Caterina socially fairly often,
and of course they are huge fans. So if there is anything we need
from Flickr, let's discuss it, write it up, and I can ask them.
http://search.creativecommons.org/
Flickr is added there... has anyone made any attempt to get Commons added to
their search? Or were we waiting until Commons has a half-decent search
engine (Mayflower is admittedly much better but still not perfect) before
looking into that? I assume Jimbo has some contacts at Creative Commons as
well ;)
CC's flickr search is another place where our images would pop up, if we had
an account on Flickr for the Commons where we added our images. Admittedly
it's the same as a plain old Flickr search, but I am guessing that many
people are going to use the CC website to search for items - and the Flickr
option there is the one to choose for good-quality photos.
