Haven't heard any comments from BjornW yet. I contacted the original
author, first CTO Nathan Yergler, but even he is unable to make changes

to

the existing plugin in Wordpress Codex, since the account is keyed to

Nathan Kinkade, just left CC, so we're in a bit of an impasse. I sent

email

to Dan to see if he can help recover the email confirmation message

would allow someone to edit the plugin, but he hasn't responded -

probably

busy with many other things.
I'm happy doing my own thing with the plugin, but I'm still thinking it
would make sense to have a concerted effort and rebuild the official

plugin

and to get it to be available on wordpress.com blogs. This will not
happen unless the CC as an organization is behind the plugin. But I

technical work is a bit stalled right now due personnel changes.

Hi Bjorn! I pushed my edits to a github repository
here: https://github.com/tarmot/wp-cc-plugin/tree/tarmo-mods
The plugin is still named according to the original License, so

will conflict with it and cannot be published on WP codex as it

But you should be able to give it a go.

Hi Tarmo,
I'm a WordPress plugin developer myself and I'm willing to help

out. For

instance with testing. Do you have your code somewhere online,

like

Github or some other place where we can check it out and

send

patches / pull requests?

Hi all,
I'm new to the list, but did check the archives back at

years

There's a Wordpress plugin that is listed in the CC
wiki: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/WpLicense
However, WpLicense hasn't been updated since 2007. It's well

done,

since it still works. However, it is very limited in its
behavior. Does anyone know if there's already people looking

resuming development of that plugin?
What I've needed is a plugin that works for a multi-author

blog,

where

each author may have a separate license in use, and where

certainly

the attribution generated in the CC license should reflect

post's

real author.
The best plugin I've found is License, which also is outdated

and a

bit buggy: http://wordpress.org/plugins/license/
I've updated it myself to work better in non-US contexts and

fixing

bugs. It allows for a default CC license for the blog, a

default

license for each author, and post-specific licenses that

override

those defaults. The widgets and short codes display correct
post-specific author names in the RDF and HTML.
I'm planning on publishing my fixed version of "License" to

Wordpress codex. But I'm wondering what the best approach

be in

terms of WpLicense and what others are planning or wanting to

do.

Hi Tarmo,
Ahum *shame* I totally forgot about the plugin. I'm sorry and will have
a look into it. My apologizes.

Hi Everyone,
I first want to say "hi" by way of introduction, as I just joined this
list. I'm the legal lead for CC Canada (but spend most time in

development as opposed to lawyering). I also run the licensing
information site www.clipol.org. Okay, back to the thread...
Tarmo, it looks like there's another WP Plugin called "Creative Commons
Configurator" that is more up-to-date (it has commits in 2013 at any
rate): http://wordpress.org/plugins/creative-commons-configurator-1/.
Maybe it doesn't meet your needs, but I just thought I'd mention it in
case you hadn't seen it.
Also, I implemented a CC Rails gem earlier this week (and it'll be on
Github once I get a moment to write a readme). It's a basic view

that allows one liners such as "license_helper(:by_sa)" or
"license_helper(:by_sa, jurisdiction: :ca, version: '3.0' ) to generate
the license notices. I mention this gem because it pulls in full I18n
internationalization support for all jurisdictions and languages
available on the License Chooser webpage. I'd be happy to port these
localizations over to the WP plugin.
Kent
