Hi there It would be great to have a better photo management tool. Currently I am using google to host my creative commons photos, and using the easy upload tools from google plus to load into the albums, from there they can be imported into panoramio and imported into mediawiki.
So, really I find that that best way to upload photos is via google, and then import them into commons.
the things that are really needed is 1. GUI way to manage the geotagging of photos. 2. an easy way to import existing photos. 3. a better way to manage many photos. 4. Import of files from archive.org would also be good.
the entire system of processing photos for commons is too complex for beginners.

Hey Thanks for the quick reply . It is the third idea which is mentioned in this suggested ideashttp://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2012#Project_ideaslist . At the moment I'm doing a research on the availability of APIs of these photo management Softwares .I am hoping to come up with a draft proposal which includes possible plugin list and basic implementation details of the project in next few days .I will keep community updated about that .
Meanwhile any guidelines ,tips or comments from the community is more than welcome and highly appreciated .

Hello lakmal, Good to meet you. This is indeed the right place. I don't see where it was suggested, but I haven't heard anyone to be working on that idea, so it seems perfectly available. I encourage you to prepare a draft proposal based on that.
