Hoi, The Dutch Wikipedia has passed 500.000 articles.. if a seven year old Dutch kid would be looking for a "paard", the child would not get what we have in store when it asks for a "horse" in stead.. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=paard&go=Try+exa... http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Horse
I know of smaller WMF projects where even the admins have given up on Commons.. So yes, Commons is a great project but it has only 3,5 million media files and it does not support other languages like it could and in my opinion should. Thanks, GerardM

Hoi, There is no point in usability studies when the lessons learned are not applied. At the Boston Wikimania there was another person who had done studies on usability and MediaWiki. She even presented about it at the "Hacker days"...
The problem is the info tends to be around it an easy to access and search form.
As to Commons, it is effectively useless to the people that do not speak English.
Really? Even with the extensive uselang stuff in say german?
