THAT'S PRETTY FREAKING MAD.
What Flommons should do, is index each image page without the '.jpg'
on the end, so images get picked up by google, and then google users
get taken to pretty Flommons, rather than scary unfriendly Commons.
maybe.
Flommons could be the interface for people who don't care about wikis,
and just want to find interesting content.

Notes:
* Can be slooow at times, since there's no index on img_user/img_user_text
* No login or upload (yet?)
* Normal blue links stay in Flommons, light-blue links go to Commons
The thing is a single Perl script. Maybe I should go and rewrite
MediaWiki like that. Oh wait... (anyone aroung long enough to get this
joke?)
