I was looking through the RFEs for script ideas and I saw "[ 1059410 ] Fuelling OpenClipArt with simple 'publish' export button" http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1059410&group_id=93438&atid=604309
Without much thought I think this would be a good idea. I also think it is something I might be capable of writing in Python. Anyone have any suggestions as to how this would best be implemented? Is there anything sticky I should look out for with the Public Domain part?

There shouldn't be any problems with the Public Domain part - the author will need to make sure they've set the licensing terms properly in Document preferences before uploading to OCAL, otherwise the file will be rejected.
As far as implementation - I have thought about this a bit, but maybe it'd be better if you explain what you're thinking and I can give some tips?

What is really required for a Public Domain declaration? Just tagging the work? Or does an author have to go through the Creative Commons submission form or some other formal process?

I wasn't really thinking yet. But here is a list of random thoughts: -a tkinter dialog to enter parameters and educate the submitter about the public domain -check metadata for PD license -just post the SVG to the OCAL web form (or) -simple XML-RPC client/server for posting works -?
Do you think this is an appropriate task for an external script? Or should it be an integral part of Inkscape? Pros/Cons?

Legally, it is helpful if there is a formal declaration (of a certain form) on file with somebody, though many people neglect to do that.

we don't require any formal declaration for submission made using the OCAL website, just completing a form, so i guess the application can do the same and the equivalent of the web form is already in Inkscape: Document Preferences -> Metadata, which only have to be validated (correct license - PD and some required fields)
