As a part of this brainstorming, please know that we have very good friends at Flickr. I see Stewart and Caterina socially fairly often, and of course they are huge fans. So if there is anything we need from Flickr, let's discuss it, write it up, and I can ask them.
http://search.creativecommons.org/
Flickr is added there... has anyone made any attempt to get Commons added to their search? Or were we waiting until Commons has a half-decent search engine (Mayflower is admittedly much better but still not perfect) before looking into that? I assume Jimbo has some contacts at Creative Commons as well ;)
CC's flickr search is another place where our images would pop up, if we had an account on Flickr for the Commons where we added our images. Admittedly it's the same as a plain old Flickr search, but I am guessing that many people are going to use the CC website to search for items - and the Flickr option there is the one to choose for good-quality photos.
