In terms of coverage the collection is impressive and
useful, but it
isn't in pretty much any other way. If people want this I'd be glad
to make it happen. It's not even all that expensive in terms of disk
space since most of the images are fairly small.
Tons of geograph images have already been uploaded to commons. Check the
WikiMiniAtlas
http://stable.toolserver.org/wma over Great Britain. Their
thumbs are displayed smaller to indicate lower picture resolution.
I also recently ran a bot [1] that grabbed location data from the geograph
website and completed incomplete image descriptions (adding over 5000
thousand location templates).
Anyhow. I share Greg's feelings on the image quality. Those pics that have
been uploaded are there, but I don't think we should drive to upload further
stuff from that site, unless it is really needed in our sister projects.
