Hi

I'm studying Master in Software Engineering at Mälardalen University in Sweden and looking in to the possiblities of participating in GSoC 2013. I've used Inkscape for several years as a user and want a deeper understanding of how c/c++ is used in larger projects so I feel that Inkscape can be a good project for me. Enough about me for this time, as Johan Engelen posted in an earlier conversation [1] I will try to spend my time fixing bugs instead of "fine tuning" my GSoC application.

So to my suggestion and questions. For the last weeks I've been in contact with Jonas Öberg a Shuttleworth Fellow running the project "License and attribution metadata" [2,3]. With start from the 1st of June 2013 they will begin their work of developing a library for storing license and attribution metadata in digital works.

My suggestion for GSoC 2013 is to use that library in Inkscape. There are both benefits and problems that comes with trying to use a library while it's still in alpha/prototype stages so what do you think about this?

1) Is this work of any interest?
