I'm interested in what it would take to transwiki eligible (free content) images from en:wp to Commons. Is this just a matter of switching on the ability and having the person doing the transwiki
Haven't we had this discussion before? The export XML stream includes information on individual uploads, so the data's all there, but no-one's written the code to slurp in the actual image files upon import, so it's a matter of implementation.
being an admin on both wikis? How is the history preserved, in these dark days before SUL? Etc., etc.
Not sure what you mean; as you probably know, transwiki is just a special case of export/import, using MediaWiki's standard XML schema. Single user login is pretty irrelevant to it.
