Enabling Commons images for a MediaWiki installation is very simple. I thought many in the list know about this. Malayalam wikimedians have implemented this feature in their community website (http://mlwiki.in/wiki/) sometime back.Enabling the use of images on Commons is just a small configuration away. I am sure and know that there are competent people who can help you with that.
To enable commons in our private wiki, just add the below code in the LocalSettings.php file
$wgUseInstantCommons = true;
This feature is called InstantCommons, and many of us are using it. See more details at

Thank you, Sue.
Once the technical issue of file upload (pointed out by Tinu) is resolved by
moving to Wikimedia servers, we'll certainly add mugshots of the EC members.
