I like this idea, but it doesnt exist yet elsewhere ? It's true that a wiki system would be nice.

Well, I have not found anything quite like it. As said, the closest thing would be the GIMP Image Archive (http://gimp-savvy.com/PHOTO-ARCHIVE/), but that one has only specific sources (NASA, NOAA, USDA and FWS). I would like to give users the possibility to add images they found elsewhere (as long as they're PD or Copyleft). It also suffers the disadvantage of not having downloaded a context with the image, because of which it is often not clear to the volunteer describing the picture what is actually on it.

A second similarity would be Google's image source, but there one cannot choose to get only images that are PD or Copyleft, but has to wade through masses of copyrighted images to see whether there is one that one is allowed to use.

But if a picture has nothing to do, how will you choose to keep or delete it ? Will we use the same system as wikipedia for

pages deletion ?

That's a policy decision that is to be taken, but should not influence whether and how this is done otherwise. My own opinion would be that 'unused image' should not be a reason for deletion (on the other hand, unused images on Wikipedia might well be transwikied), but that one might set up a system to delete images that do not seem useful for Wikipedia or similar projects - Here I think in the first place of "yet another image of a..."-cases.

I see no pb to create a new one, but we'll have to create a new one for each language, no ? And idea would be to upload pictures, and having the possibility to write in diffferent language about this picture.

Jimmy, what do you think about this new wiki like project ?
