images and add them to some transwiki interface.
Frequently there are definable *groups* of images that should be
transwikied. Like "all images uploaded by X in category Y". Even just
adding the tags can be a lot of work. Eg:

I haven't heard anyone oppose moving good images
to the commons, it's
just that actually doing it is *so slow*. Plus the tools we used to
have don't work since the toolserver is now only for non-english
wikipedias.
Yeah. Similar deal with renaming wrongly named images. I put a tag on
an image once for it to be renamed and 6 months later it was still
there. Just because the tools are bad.
