If it is all right with everyone, I will anounce it to our members tonight
and start building connections between it and the websites of other
organisations over the next week.

Thank you

One quick suggestion. On the Creative Commons licensing I recommend you
reference which license. Creative Commons is more than one license
agreement.

It is also easier for search engines/etc to know what license you have
used if you cut-and-paste the HTML code from the site to your page that
has the "machine readable code".

Example for the most liberal license which is the "Attribution" license
at: http://creativecommons.org/license/results-one?lang=en&license_code=by

If you click "Learn how to mark your content" you end up at:

http://creativecommons.org/license/license-install?lang=en&license_code=by

Cut-and-paste what it gives there. There is quite a bit of instruction
on how to do this as well.

Thanks, and looks great..

OK - good. I think I have the right one on my sites.
Check any one of them - for instance http://www.flora.org/rosaleen
and if it's the wrong one with the wrong reference, let me know.
Cheers,
Rosaleen

I just looked at http://www.flora.org/rosaleen/ and didn't see any
reference at all, eithor human readable (some text with a link to a
Commons Deed) or machine readable (The XML stuff).

As an example of the best practise, check out
http://www.flora.ca/russell/drafts/review-of-code.html

If you view source you will see the following code:

This work is published on September 27, 2004 and licensed under a <A
HREF="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/">Creative Commons
Attribution-ShareAlike License</A>.

The above code is the "Human Readable" part, and references to the
specific Commons Deed.

The following is the Machine Readable part:

<!-- <rdf:RDF xmlns="http://web.resource.org/cc/"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">
<Work rdf:about="">
<license rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/" />
</Work>

</rdf:RDF>

-->

Both the human readable and machine readable parts are within the same
code which they suggest you cut-and-paste into your HTML pages. You may
want to modify the human readable part as I did (to make it more clear in
text which license was used), but once you chose a license you should keep
the machine readable stuff the same.

Ooops it dropped off. It's back.
Sorry about that.
