Indeed; currently we have very limited resources. We've been promised  
the opportunity to bring on more full time devs but we're not as far  
as hiring yet.

In the meantime, the sad circumstance is that the work Commons needs  
isn't able to get much dedicated attention from WMF. Interested  
volunteers would be very welcome; the JS and toolserver tools going on  
are an *awesome* start but more integrated stuff is needed for upload,  
tagging, and search.
