One of the things I'm working on is a large shell-script that takes debate
archives (which I have filmed), and handles the process of editing,
titling, normalising, format-conversion etc. The resulting files are
CC-licensed, and I'd like to automatically upload them to archive.org.

However, I'd like to be able to do this *without* a GUI, but via a
shell-script instead. Is there any chance of a modification to
CC-publisher, which might be invoked something like this:

./publish.sh --file MYFILE.mpg --author ... --license ... --type ... --date
.....

This would then upload the file, to archive.org and return the URL of the
new file as its STDOUT.

Error messages to stderr, and exit code 0 or 1 depending on
success/failure.

Thanks - Richard
