To me this is a wider PR thing. When I was on en wp I knew next to nothing about commons. On this list recently we were equated with a "service" to Wikipedia. Elsewhere (I forget again where) I mentioned that I changed an upload warning template on Meta that suggested uploading material to en wp. I really do not think that we (our function & us) are well understood and I think this is worth some thought.
Commons is like the MediaWiki software. It's many things to many people, but fundamentally it's there to support the other Wikimedia projects.
