Yes. Implementing even basic image tagging would be helpful, I think. Lots
of low-hanging software development fruit on Commons.

Thank you for the detailed response. :-)

I think having the resolutions published is great, but I also think having
an index with statuses of high-level projects would also be good. Somewhere
where outsiders and insiders can look and answer a question about the status
of X (e.g., controversial content software implementation) without needing
to bother Board members. ;-)

Any ideas on implementing something like that? I'm not sure how many other
high-level projects there are, even. Any guidance on this would be great and
appreciated.
