Hi!
Issue with Wikimedia logos violating Commons policies re-appeared again on Commons Village Pump.
But logos should be shared across Wikimedia projects. Otherwise everybody will have headache with supporting multiple copies of same images of different projects.
I think MediaWiki contain technical ability to solve this problem. As far as I remember SVN comments, new file storage class allow to support several shared file servers like Commons. So Wikimedia logos could be moved to dedicated server. Access to this server could be restricted for avoiding vandalism/unapproved logos changes (for example to stewards/board memebers).
Possible solution to a non problem?
Somebody on the VP just opened a can of worms here. So it is probably a non-problem, but we should keep this in the back of our minds just in case somebody /else/ does the same.
As for the proposed solution, if enough people complain about Wikimedia logos being on Commons, then I'm for this solution.
