[Foundation-l] Proposal: Commons Force

[Samuel Klein]

I met a few people helping out with Wikimania, including the lead
photographer on site, who got involved with the local Wikimedia
community after their photostream was found on Flickr and incorporated
into Wikipedia (es:wp)...  Discovering your work has been used by
someone else is always a nice icebreaker.

I expect Flickr is friendly towards WP; they've always been a pretty
open culture.  That may be reason enough.
