I created a simple Creative Commons sites index with high hopes.
I aim to create a high-quality index of CC (Creative Commons) sites to make it easier for enthusiasts to access and use daily. My goal is to enhance content accessibility. I also plan to develop an Arabic version for Arabic resources and eventually expand to make it multilingual .
Here is my website link: https://crtv.pages.dev/
Please criticize and offer more resources as much as you can.
You're viewing a single thread.
Always good to see more effort to surface these things. A couple of possible enhancements come to mind.
- Pepper & Carrot probably belongs under comics, and/or comics belongs as a subset of fiction.
- It'd be great to filter by license, maybe similar to what Openverse (which you already have listed) does. I know that Creative Commons doesn't see a problem with incompatible licenses, but I feel like people in the space have strong feelings about how "free/libre" it is to say that something can't be used commercially (whatever that means) or can't be altered.
- If you want a pile of fiction of various sorts, at the risk of self-promoting, I spotlight (and ideally have discussions around) Free Culture works on Saturdays. https://john.colagioia.net/blog/tag/bookclub/ (And a bunch of the links actually lead to collections.)
- Another pile, you'll need to figure out how to sift through on your own (I haven't had the time to figure out how to parse it), but Chris "Sanglorian" Sakkas posted the (I imagine) final backup of his Free and Open Works wiki, sort of your predecessor project. (Edit: I stupidly forgot the link https://archive.org/details/freeand-open-works-20200811084450)
- Too much manual labor, I realize, especially as the list expands, but ideally, it'd be nice to have some idea of what lives at the other end of a link beyond the format. The videos especially could plausibly be anything...
Thanks for getting this rolling!

I thought a lot about having subsets(especially in the news section) but I really need a easy way to implement it using only HTML and CSS, which I could not figure out yet(I am not a web developer).
-
about having a filter, I still did not get a time to implement a filter, but it's planned for the future for sure.
-
I will surf through all this piles, hopefully I might find a lot of high quality resources to add.
-
About having a description for each item, the best idea I had about how to display it is a hover text which could be implemented in the future, but it's still early to implement sonething like this.
I really appreciate your comments and suggestions, don't hesitate to reach out to me if you had any other suggestion.
Thank you.
Likewise, feel free to reach out if you need a hand. I don't always have time, but I do my share of weird programming.
