The add media Wizard is in testing see blog post:
http://metavid.org/blog/2009/03/27/add-media-wizard-and-firefogg-on-test-wi…
If no one objects (or has any blocker bugs that I have missed) I will
add the gadget option for firefogg / add media wizard to commons
shortly. (for wider testing) We could also add the basic commons search
as a gadget for wikipedia proper. (making commons image inserts much easier)

The searching remote repository and in-line upload and template via url
component that is working on
test.wikimedia.org is not as easy to push
out. The implementation on
test.wikimedia.org is limited to files that
it can copy in less than 30 seconds (php time out ) and is parsing html
page output to determine errors. To move the add media wizard searching
and insert into production we will need to deploy the new-upload branch.
I will be targeting fixes to upload bugs 18200, 18201, 18202 to the
new-upload branch.
Looking beyond English language gadgets ... Localization is dependent
on the javascript script server which I will create a patch for core
shortly.
