Thanks for the answers, James.
If it is a standard search, the results for languages other than English
will be quite poor and I am not sure how the Solr migration could help in
that regard.
You're right, sorry, I should have been clearer.
Image tagging with Wikidata items could be more
effective for i18n. If
there are already plans to make it happen, that is unknown to me.
Yes, I think this would be a good improvement in general (as well as for
VisualEditor), but I also have not heard of anyone taking this work
forward. I discussed it briefly at the Amsterdam Hackathon in May with the
Wikidata team as a possible future project, but nothing more than that.
About the gallery, maybe you could take a look to the
proposed gallery and
comments? ("Redesigning the <gallery> tag.")

I replied on design-l; it seems that the discussion has been forked, which
is unhelpful. Will re-post my comments there.
I like that bawolff's proposal is less gridded,
but of course, that is
only my subjective perception. Maybe there is room for collaboration there.
Absolutely. :-)
Things I missed in the VE's image gallery:
- a way of accessing the Commons file page
- a more clear highlighting (maybe slightly enlarging the image)
- double-click to insert
I have put these into
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49662 so
we keep track of them.
But other than that, for a first release it works
quite well :)
Thank you!
Yours,
