Once more I would like to ask whether someone would be willing to actually start a Wikimedia project for the collection of images and possibly other media files that can be used in Wikipedia and similar projects. From reactions to earlier proposals of the same sort I am getting the impression that this is not unlikely to work out well, but I would need to have the wiki set up, the domain name decided etcetera to actually be able to get started. If someone is both willing and able to do so, then I would be delighted.

Andre-
Once more I would like to ask whether someone would be willing to actually start a Wikimedia project for the collection of images and possibly other media files that can be used in Wikipedia and similar projects.
I haven't forgotten about my Wikimedia Commons proposal. Jimbo promised me a reply (he was generally positive about the idea) which I am still waiting for. As soon as the project is approved we can set up a blank wiki at commons.wikimedia.org as a starting point. I do anticipate that some non-minor changes to the software will be required to make this really fly.
In the meantime, I've been working on an upload form mock-up, which I will soon post to wikitech-l & meta.
