Hoi,
The Dutch Wikipedia has passed 500.000 articles.. if a seven year old Dutch
kid would be looking for a "paard", the child would not get what we have in
store when it asks for a "horse" in stead..

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Horse
I know of smaller WMF projects where even the admins have given up on
Commons.. So yes, Commons is a great project but it has only 3,5 million
media files and it does not support other languages like it could and in my
opinion should.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hoi,
There is no point in usability studies when the lessons learned are not
applied. At the Boston Wikimania there was another person who had done
studies on usability and MediaWiki. She even presented about it at the
"Hacker days"...
The problem is the info tends to be around it an easy to access and search
form.
As to Commons, it is effectively useless to the
people that do not speak
English.
Really? Even with the extensive uselang stuff in say german?
