Someone had already pointed out to me that I could use the reverse geocoding feature of Nominatim (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim) to categorize images at Commons. I just implemented it and this tool seems to catch a lot of images in the overcrowded categories. Would it be possible to set up a local copy of this tool at the OSM toolserver?
Do you think this needs to be dynamic, or is it a one-time effort?
What do you consider dynamic? Tool should be set up and the backend database should be kept up to date.
Dynamic in the sense of "do you think lookups will be done over and over again", as opposed to a static "do a lookup once for each image and store the result".
Great. With the current setup we have at the Toolserver, what would have to be done?
I haven't done this myself, but take a look at the archives of http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/geocoding to see what people wrote about the process (apart from the regular Nominatim docs).
