Hoi,
Improving of the 'quality' of pictures is not in and of itself something
that is not without controversy. There have been fierce fights in the past
over exactly this subject and there are a great many people that do not
upload to Commons as a result.
The notion that there is software that allows you to improve pictures needs
to be handled with caution. I have seen tragic attempts of improvement that
were anything but. It is nice to have tools that allow you to work on
pictures, it needs judgement to know when to do this. Giving the possibility
to overwrite existing pictures to everyone is imho NOT a good idea.
Thanks,
GerardM

Ah, yes, so you do.
Whoa. this is news to me. :) so is it actually
enabled or not?
Seemingly not, testing on
mediawiki.org (where I'm a sysop). But it
could be enabled.
How hard would it be to put a whitelist in place? That is, allowing
anyone (logged in) to copy-upload files, as long as they came from a
certain site. Allowing only admins to copy-upload doesn't really help
with picnik integration.
