At some point during the Wikimania DevDays, Benoît and I teamed up to imagine & try a few quick tweaks to Wikimedia Commons interface.

What we achieved in the end is a big “Upload a file” (« Importer un fichier » in French) button on the French-language main page. [1] [2] Our rationale was that it is unreasonable to have people look for the tiny link in the left menu bar.

Any thoughts on this? Good, bad, ugly?

I will probably suggest on the Village Pump in the next few days to have it on the English-language Main Page too (though the discussion will probably drift in the necessity of redesigning completely said main page and ending up nowhere in the end, or that we need a Guided Tour for that, or etc. ;-þ)
