Hello,
While thinking about categories/galleries again lately (it really never goes away), I came up with some broad definitions of the types of users that the Commons serves, how they have different needs and responsibilities, and how we can maybe use this kind of thinking to identify priorities for future directions.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pfctdayelise/Principles If anyone feels up for some high-level thinking, I welcome comments, additions or criticism here or on the talk page. In particular, are there other types of users that are useful to define, who are they and why? Is any of my reasoning illogical? Are there other conclusions I've missed?
cheers, Brianna user:pfctdayelise
