Hi Multimedia enthusiasts, Commonists, and Wikitechers,
The Multimedia team has been hard at work building a new extension for editing images on-wiki, and we believe we now have a workable demo running on Labs! You can find it on our Multimedia Alpha Wiki[0], where there are also instructions for testing.
Note that we have a list of known bugs and failings on that wiki, and we are working on getting those fixed before we push the extension into any kind of deployment - our next steps will likely be to put it on test2wiki, then to push a BetaFeature to Commons if all goes well. We will keep you updated with the status of the project as we progress.
If you find more bugs, or have concerns about this extension, you can share them on the Village Pump[1]. You can also file a Phabricator task against ImageTweaks[2] if you prefer to be in more direct contact with the team about a technical issue.
Thanks for helping us test new stuff, and I look forward to getting this great tool out to you soon!

The wiki appears to be a honey pot for spammers now. Look at the main page's history. [1]
For all those searching the instructions, please have a look at http://multimedia-alpha.wmflabs.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid...
Results are always file description pages lacking the file like [2].
