[snip] Now for the relevant bit. It's been discussed before, a little, and I touched upon it in a recent discussion sparked off from the newbie's questions...but it could be feasible for us to replace our Special:Upload pages with something a bit more intelligent. Making use of the licencing dropdowns, we could, I think, redirect free images to Commons in a seamless fashion (after checking existence and providing a courteous note to the user, of course).
If we already had the unique login system, it would only be a fact of <form action changing at the user level.
No. The idea is to handle the upload from the home wiki, so to speak; the user shouldn't ever need to be directed somewhere on Commons. And this particular aspect has nothing to do with single sign-on (although it's needed before we can go ahead with it, since images must be associated with an uploader).
