Hi,
I'm pretty sure nothing like this exists, but I thought I'd confirm before running off to setup a shared wiki for uploads, but is there a similar feature to wgSharedDB for images that allows a user to upload an image without leaving the wiki and share it with other wikis in the same group?
Thanks, Travis

Not exactly as such; the shared upload feature (which we use for Commons) allows you to *use* any image from the shared image wiki on any of the other local wikis transparently.
What you can do easily is replace the upload link to point you over to the common upload wiki. (It's a config var to override the URL for the link.)
If you want the shared upload form to appear *in each individual local wiki* then you'd have to do a little more work, I guess, to make sure things are saved and logged in the right places.
