I propose that the current Project Sourceberg is integrated into a larger "Wikimedia Commons".
Said "Wikimedia Commons" should reside at commons.wikimedia.org and be a repository for
- images
- public domain texts
- otherwise freely licensed documents
- music, artistic works (but see below)
I think this is a great idea, and I hope there will be enough people keeping an eye on all the media that will get uploaded and check them for copyvios.
BTW, from the Creative Commons newsletter:
*Search Engine Prototype
More big news. The prototype [1] of our CC-enabled search engine is now available. It still needs some polish, but it's the first glimpse of our dream world, where you can search for noncommercial music and photos and culture to re-use as easily as finding out the weather.
