Gerard,

The PikiWiki project is lead by three organisations and not only wikimedia
Israel.

I don't think the problem is Commons accepting the project. But even if we
see it as one of our sisterprojects it still needs to follow Commons
Policies. The same counts for En.Wiki the can't upload fair use on Commons
because the policy. There are other project that al almost the same like
Http://www.wikiportret.nl or photosubmission project on En.wiki both the
projects need to get otrs permission for every upload and give as source
the projectsite. I think this would be a good way to go with Pikiwiki.

About the block, as far as I know the bot is already unblocked. But we
have like 2.500 images already on Commons that need to be fixed before we
upload even more images.
