Looking at this, I think semantic mediawiki would be useful to
commons. I think (if i'm reading this right), you would be able to do
keyword like searches (All pictures that are of ballons and are red,
for a list of pictures of red ballons etc. Then if you add exif info,
you could do a lot.).

Considering that Semantic MediaWiki is basically what
DynamicPageList should
have become over time, I think it's totally something that Wikinews could
use. If the extension is functional, perhaps the best thing to do would be
to deploy it on something like en.wikinews and see if users like it.

for a description of the software. Your comments about this idea would
be welcome; questions about the software are probably best left on the
talk page of the Wikinews page above, or sent directly to the
developers.
