Wikimedia Commons has the potential to become a

creative commons content. There are a large number of other sites running
Mediawiki software to partner with. If we could either host their images or
allow users of other sites to simultaneously upload to both Commons and the
other wiki in question we could increase the rate we are expanding out
image content and hopefully bring more people into the movement
For them, this has the fundamental cloud problem, i.e. their images
are at the mercy of Commons local policy. I can't see how we could
recommend in good conscience that others give up control like this.
