The Draw support for the CC OOo Addin isn't on the SoC list because we didn't feel that it was of the appropriate scope. It's mostly just adding support for embedding the image in the Draw document (the metadata would be the same as in the other document types). The Flickr Image Re-Use for OOo is more interesting to us because it involves substantial new development work. Note that we mentioned Flickr in particular because they support retrieval of CC licensed photos through the search API. I don't believe that Picasa has similar support (although I'd be ecstatic to be proven wrong), so it's not an appropriate back end choice for the project.
I'd encourage you to ask any questions you have here on the list so that the maximum number of people can chime in; you'd be working with myself or Asheesh Laroia as your mentor on the Flickr + OOo project.
