Well, I want to start a larger conversation on the Hotline's usefulness. As some of you know I am paying US$25 per month to maintain it, and I don't really think that it's shown $25/month worth of usefulness to us. While there is certainly a great potential for such a hotline, I don't know if it makes sense for us to continue investing our time (and attention) into something that's not really shown itself to be a success.
My proposal would be to completely disable the hotline, due to low use, unless someone can come up with a workable plan for encouraging it's use.

That sounds like a good idea; any takers?

Really what needs to be done imo, is to have a bot sit and upload them to commons as they come in (and sort them on wiki)

To be honest, I don't think this is being used as effectively as it could be. The hotline system could do with an overhaul - perhaps new options, etc. This sounds like a job for a wiki-brainstorm though :D
