Indeed! I believe the Flickr experinece will be especially valuable given
the recent flurry of discussion about the relative merits of Flickr Commons
and Wikimedia Commons for GLAMs. Welcome and good luck!

Hoi,
Welcome Neil! There are plenty challenges for you, I am sure you will enjoy
many of them and find some puzzling, strange or weird and maybe all three
at
the same time :)
Thanks,

It is my pleasure to announce that the usability
team has a new member.
Neil Kandalgaonkar joined the team as a software developer for the Ford
multi-media usability project. Neil brings in the breadth of experience
in
software engineering from major social networking
web sites such as
Flickr
and
Upcoming.org. Neil oversaw improving payment
system and
performance of FlickrMail interface at Flickr, integrated
Upcoming.org into
Yahoo properties and helped expand the team.
Prior to Yahoo!, Neil was
with
Google and his main responsibility was to enable
Google Checkout system
for
non-US markets. Neil holds Bachelor of Arts in
Communication Studies
from
Concordia University, in Montreal, Canada.
Neil will work closely with Guillaume Paumier, who manages the product
side
of the project, and also Michael Dale who have
been developing a ton of
multi-media support software and tools already.
I just posted the work in progress of the multi-media usability project
for
those who are curious about the development of
the multi-media usability
project.
