The image copyright discussion reminds me of an idea that has been going through my head for a while. How about an organized effort to create (shoot) public domain photos of important people/places/events? I am not a photographer so I would be a bad person to lead this WikiProject, but maybe there are people on this list who would be interested in it. Basically, the effort would have to be organized in such a way that - interested photographers put their names and locations on the page and put the page in their watchlist - interested users add people, places, things, events etc. to a To Do list. Photographers add their names to the list if they want to finish a task. The task is moved into a "Finished tasks" list later and the photos are uploaded. Additionally, people who are willing to scan photos sent to them (for people without scanners or digicams) might enter themselves into a third list -- don't know if that would be necessary. What do you think? Given the international nature of Wikipedia, I really see the potential for a large and impressive effort to get relevant photos from all around the world.
