Does anyone else feel weird seeing the Wikimedia Foundation
encouraging its volunteers to go to Medium and Facebook to give
feedback?
Medium and Facebook are commercial platforms with Medium using
paywalls to force visitors to pay to read. Promoting these sites using
WMF funded content seems to go directly against the stated WMF top
level values.

Hi everyone!
George Oates, the designer behind Flickr, Flickr Commons and Open Library (among others)
has looked at Wikimedia Commons and gives tips from her perspective how it can be
improved.

The interview is also cross-posted to Medium, where you can leave comments:

There's also discussion about this post going on at the Wikimedia Commons village
pump, and in the Wikipedia Weekly Facebook group.
