feature request
I would like to have a library that I can install via common package manager like npm or yarn. That could generate and bundle the resulting js with a wide range browser compatibility.

Describe the solution you'd like
First step to get rid of the php and the python bundlers could be to introduce node with webpack and babel for example.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I would also suggest to build a vue component and create a widget with the vue-custom-element package.

Issues:

1. The example app is having many examples but there is no way to transition easily from one example to another.
2. Instead of using window alerts, a better method of displaying information would be to display it inline.
3. The website style and text is not very appealing. A better look can make it way more usable.
4. Code structure and formatting need to be fixed.

The python files have a mixture of indentation and quoting. They should be cleaned-up to use:

• 4 space indentation
• double quotes (except where special quoting makes sense)

Additionally, it would be prudent to run them through flake8 and resolve any issues.

• Flake8: Your Tool For Style Guide Enforcement — flake8 3.7.7 documentation

Please only modify files that:

1. you can run successfully before modifying
2. you can run successfully after modifying

Description

Remove duplicate files (CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, CONTRIBUTING.md) from the repository to ensure alignment with organizational defaults as outlined in the GitHub Repo Guidelines.
Also, update the readme file.

Resolution

• I would be interested in resolving this bug.

Improvements include:

• structured parable and machine-readable RDFa data (instead of a series of disjointed data fragments) [test by pasting template here]
• clarifies what object is described/licensed (the URL in the about attribute on the root element)
• make better use of Dublin Core properties
• better accessibility, license name set as img[alt] (compression will reduce the long repeated string to virtually nothing)
• the badge image is kept outside the root span element to prevent simplistic implementations from wrongly assuming the license applies to it rather than the resource in the about attribute.
• HTTPS by default (pages load faster as it avoids the redirect and people aren’t exposed to an unencrypted connection)

"Dear colleagues,

does somebody of you have the Creative Commons License Chooser plugin (https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/LicenseChooser.js) implemented at some part of your websites/services? If so, is the plugin still working as intended? Just wondering because it is not displayed in our backend any more despite the code of the particular part where we are using it not having been changed for years...

Best,
Stefan, Archives Portal Europe"

It seems like the legacy CC API is up and running, so we will have to do some investigation to figure out why the widget is no longer working.

So far, this is the only copy of it out in the wild that I can find.

Environment

• Device: (eg. iPhone Xs; laptop)

• Other info: (eg. display resolution, ease-of-access settings)

Additional context

Resolution

• I would be interested in resolving this bug.

The repository is poorly organized. It should use directories to better organize the files.

Update Python files for more modern style/syntax:

• Resolve issues raised by Flake8: Your Tool For Style Guide Enforcement — flake8 3.7.7 documentation
• Replace string concatenation ("foo" + bar) and old string formatting ("foo %s" % (bar)) with newer string formatting ("foo {}".format(bar))
• Replace empty list ([]) and dict ({}) with functions (list() and dict())

Please only modify files that:

1. you can run successfully before modifying
2. you can run successfully after modifying

Feature request*
The common naming for javascript related projects is the kebab case and I think its a good idea to go with the convention.

Describe the solution you'd like
Rename the project to cc-license-chooser-js or cc-license-chooser.

Additional context
Could be also great for future distributing on package managers.

Describe the bug
When working on #14 , I found that the variables msgid, and msgstr are undefined on lines 122, and 134 in license_xsl/i18n/msgfmt.py. I am not sure what exactly these variables are meant to reference, but I've been all through the file and can't find where they might come from...

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to the root dir of this repo
2. $ flake8 license_xsl/i18n/msgfmt.py
3. See error(s)

Or, use any other linter.

Expected behavior
The variable(s) referenced should be defined in the scope they are used

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
• flake8 Version: 3.7.7
• CPython 2.7.15rc1

Sorry for brevity, I have a deadline but have been looking for a place to report these bugs.

• The Icons don't work on Chrome or Safari with MacOS. Every icon is for CC-BY for Rich Text regardless of license options. Only exception I found so far is CC 0.
• The full-text licenses for Rich Text and Print Work and Media do not include the words "Creative Commons" in the license. This is arguably permissible for the license terms but poor practice for CC understanding and brand visibility.
