Thanks for the answers, James.

If it is a standard search, the results for languages other than English will be quite poor and I am not sure how the Solr migration could help in that regard.

You're right, sorry, I should have been clearer.

Image tagging with Wikidata items could be more effective for i18n. If there are already plans to make it happen, that is unknown to me.

Yes, I think this would be a good improvement in general (as well as for VisualEditor), but I also have not heard of anyone taking this work forward. I discussed it briefly at the Amsterdam Hackathon in May with the Wikidata team as a possible future project, but nothing more than that.

About the gallery, maybe you could take a look to the proposed gallery and comments? ("Redesigning the <gallery> tag.")

I replied on design-l; it seems that the discussion has been forked, which is unhelpful. Will re-post my comments there.

I like that bawolff's proposal is less gridded, but of course, that is only my subjective perception. Maybe there is room for collaboration there.

Absolutely. :-)

Things I missed in the VE's image gallery:
- a way of accessing the Commons file page
- a more clear highlighting (maybe slightly enlarging the image)
- double-click to insert

I have put these into https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49662 so we keep track of them.

But other than that, for a first release it works quite well :)

Thank you!

Yours,
