So I'm learning Perl now. So I needed a project to sharpen my programming claws with. So I remembered people not happy with the MediaWiki commons interface. So I thought I'd steal from the best and wrote a new one.
Flickr-Like cOMMONS = Flommons

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?)
