'properly describing an image will always be time consuming.'
I totally agree. Still, can we have some games for Wikipedians to play
so that we can 'tag' photos with different terms in different languages
and enjoy some relaxing moment?
I stumble on the idea from the clip: from 10:20 on

Hoi,
The other day I blogged about a Wikimedian in Iran who is sitting on 5Gb
of images and it is too much of a pain for him to upload it. Commons is
disfunctional for several reasons and the complicated and clunky user
interface is one.
I am not sure if we can improve the interface significantly to deal with
that. I have 2000-3000 photos in my growing backlog, and what's really
is time consuming is not the interface per se (I use commonist anyway)
but the need to properly name, categorize and describe the images. Yes,
a better interface could help somewhat, but in the end, properly
describing an image will always be time consuming.
