I haven't thought much about integrating search, but an
OpenOffice.org
implementation of what the Microsoft Office Addin
(http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Microsoft_Office_Addin
) does would be
killer.  Some additional thoughts on how it might work are
available
at 
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/OpenOfficeOrg_Addin.

That could be interesting; are you thinking about searching
the user's
hard drive for CC licensed content or providing a web search
interface
for searching CC licensed content?  In the former case, have
you
thought much about how to handle the different file
formats?

Thanks for your interest; looking forward to your
application,

Nathan

Hi Cassio, yes, I think both of these sound interesting. In
particular,
the OO.o plugin that would be for all OO.o would be
brilliant. I think
of major importance is how to specifically add this support
to OO.o.

I think there is the plug-in level support and also seeing
how a
contribution could be added to OO.o so that it ships as
default in OO.o.

Anyhow, I'm cc'ing OO.o's community manager, who can comment
on this
add-in some more and hopefully help you shape your
application.

Louis, we are taking the approach this year to add CC
support to key
applications in FLOSS. Please assist 

Jon

I think either of these is a great thing to work on. I think
that
helping on OO.o and getting that knocked out is important
and along with
Francois, this is a doable project.

The Google Desktop Plugin is good too...but the OO.o piece
is the #1
priority IMO.
