I guess Tom misunderstood my comment. I wrote down a simple plan how an 
external solution could work and how to minimize the effort to maintain 
it. If there is a community (it might overlap with our community) that 
would run such a "filter portal" (or even multiple portals) then it 
should be even more sufficient as if we would implement filters inside 
Wikipedia itself. They could really block images and make a child-save 
zone after their own definition, while we could continue as usual 
without having the burden to avoid conflicts.
