Hi Akila,

Glad to hear you're interested in applying once again. One quick piece
of feedback that comes to mind is that it'd be good to contact the
Scribus developers/community and see if they're open to this work.
It's not clear to me from below whether or not the C++ plugins can be
distributed separately; if not, we want to lay the groundwork for
pushing that upstream.

Overall it sounds like there's some good opportunities here for both
marking the created documents with a license (support for a visible
license notice will be critical), as well as the clip art/image
support like the OpenOffice/LibreOffice add-on has.

Look forward to reading your proposal!

Hi,
It has been almost a year since I started improving the CCOOO plugin.
I am very happy to that it has become a?successful?project.
I would like to apply as a GSoC student this time also with?Creative
Commons.
This time thought of making a plugin for?Scribus.
Since?Scribus?is a?widely?used open source desktop publishing tool, I think
it is good to have a plugin like OpenOffice
for that also.
We can have the same?features?like the OpenOffice plugin, to add license and
meta data (specially in PDFs) and
also to use CC licensed images in the documents created using?Scribus.
I have read about the plugin development in?Scribus. We can develop plugins
for it using C++ and
Scripts using phython. Since we have to deal with some core components in
thins case, I think we have to use
use C++ plugin for this.
What do you think about this? Is this important at this time or is there any
thing that I can add to this proposal?
