Dear all,
As part of the Multimedia usability project [1], we're going to set up a prototype environment, similar to the "sandboxes" used by the Wikipedia Usability initiative [2].
Importing all of Commons into the prototype would be overkill. As a consequence, we're looking for a small subset of content from Commons to use as a sample.
We would like to have a reasonable range of:
- filetypes
- file sizes
- licenses
- metadata
We don't necessarily need a wide range of topics.
Would you have any suggestion of category (or set of categories) to use for this purpose?

What are you looking for that hitting [[special:random/file]] as many times as images are needed won't provide?
