Hey Mike ,
First of all Thanks a lot for that nice feedback .
I would be grateful if you can illustrate a little bit on what you meant by "GUI way of managing pictures" . As I understood will it be a integrated option to the edit menu of an article where we can explore and search our photos in services like Flickr ,Picasa ,panoramio etc ,Select the required picture and insert the selected picture in to our wiki document by one click.
Please correct me if I'm wrong .

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
- GUI way to manage the geotagging of photos.
- an easy way to import existing photos.
- a better way to manage many photos.
- Import of files from archive.org would also be good.
the entire system of processing photos for commons is too complex for beginners.

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

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.
