Round pegs, square holes....
As for Geograph ....... words fail me!
As I said there, institutions need to define their purposes, and then act accordingly. I don't see much percentage in us debating here what "fit for purpose" means as a generalised thing applied to Commons. It obviously does support WP and other WMF projects. I'm all for contrarian views rather than groupthink, but this thread is starting to ramble.
