Greetings,
The Structured Data on Commons team [0] has a new feedback request up on
Wikimedia Commons, concerning potential designs for Multilingual Caption
support in the Upload Wizard [1] Information can be found on the page
linked below, as well as space for feedback and discussion.
Thank you for your time, see you on the wiki.

Hi all,
As part of the Structured Data on Commons program, Jonathan Morgan and
Sandra Fauconnier were able to interview a number of GLAM project
participants or include them in a survey, to examine how Commons is used by
that community and how we could support them. In the research, they
highlight a number of both social and technological challenges faced by
that group, alongside the needs of the Commons community.
I highly recommend either reading the report, or watching the the video
documented at:

Cheers,
Alex Stinson

Just found about him from the credits of a popular video tutorial:
https://www.joshwoodward.com/faq
(I see he's also mentioned on a page of the Creative Commons wiki, my
ignorance.)
It would be nice to make a blog post/interview with him about how a free
license is not incompatible with earning money, even for musicians.

Yuck.
That said, perhaps we should think about integrating a link to a
CC-friendly printshop that can produce prints roughly at cost, perhaps with
the WP URL and license on the back. (prints are basically the only service
'fineartamerica' provides.)
In the US I use shortrunposters, ~$4 for a 2'x3' print (so, 5% the cost of
fineartamerica); I bet there are others.
