As a spinoff of the discussion of category intersections on wikitech-l, I have ported my toolserver-powered JavaScript add-on to Commons.

The tool will add a new link beneath the category list of a page. A click will open the list of categories of this page(/image) as checkboxes. Chose two or more of these, and you can preview 20 files in that intersection, or go to the toolserver to see them all.
To use, add importScript('User:Magnus_Manske/category_intersection.js'); to your monobook.js. We can turn it into a gadget if wanted.
Cheers, Magnus
This appears to be great. But I will try later.

I'm discussing here and there a trick to assign good keywords to items in a *consistent way* into any wiki project. The advantage could be, that they could be searched *by presently running search engine*. I'm working into a couple of wikisource projects, but I presume that the need of a comfortable keyword search is much mandatory into Commons.
Here the links to my contributions: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Babel#Keyword_search http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/User_talk:Jayvdb#Thoughts_about_keywords
I's like to know your opinion about.
