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
Misc examples:

* Welcome screen (as me, though there's no real login)

* Search results

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?)
