[Commons-l] Fwd: [Gendergap] Photo of the Day on Wikimedia Commons

[Ryan Kaldari]

The place where the debates occur is
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Featured_picture_candidates. After
an image is promoted from there, anyone can put it on the Main Page at any
time (as explained by Huib). I think having more people involved in the FPC
process would be great.
