Wow, this is really good! I can finally find something on Commons without having to click trough a list of images or browsing categories :) Just some small recommendations: * I would give the 'x results found' a colourful background (maybe purple) to separate the search box from the thumbnail view. You could also move the search box to the right of the logo and use the dotted grey bar as a separator. * Having the license beneath the image would be very handy. Even more handy would be an option to do an 'advanced search' for a specific license (e.g. only PD images) * Maybe the colours should be a little more Wikimedia-like (green, blue, red) and the imagery could be more related to Wikimedia Commons to refer to the connection between the two. I attached an example logo (just an idea). Anyway, great job! With some more work Mayflower could be a great replacement for the current Commons search. -- Hay Kranen / [[User:Husky]] On 2/13/07, Gregory Maxwell <gmaxwell(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Once a month take 10 popupar licenses from db. And mark all other as "other". -- Best regards, Yaroslav mailto:rodovid@andatra.kiev.ua

Also, would it be technically possible to have an input box on a wiki page, like 'Search via Mayflower', that takes the user to a Mayflower search for the provided keywords? cheers, Brianna

Hoi, There are quite a few sound files and there will be many more given that some great functionality is developed in the "Shtooka" software. The notion that these files are not desperately useful for some.. is also true the other way around. For some the images are not desperately useful and it is the sound files that are of interest.
