Hoi,
There is an excuse. You may know those categories, I do not and I do not
even try to find images in Commons for my blog. It is too hard to find
things. The search is neither efficient nor intuitive.
For me Commons and Wikisource could do with an abundant sprinkling of
improved user interface. It is geared up for people adding data not really
for people using data. The approach is way too dogmatic as well. So no,
thank you.
Thanks,
GerardM

subcategory cups of coffee a further 700 images not really difficult to
find or navigate to what you need.
There is no excuse for fundraising team to not use a Free licensed
photograph and message to the community they are suppose to be trying to
support and promote either on commons-l or here sayo=ing they need an image
of a cup of coffee from above would have got them even more to choose from,

I don't think I'm concerned about the foundation fundraising staff
deciding to use a stock photo - expedience and all, but I'm pretty sure
that had they known about that (absolutely gorgeous) SVG, they'd have
used it.
... which I guess is my way of saying "OMG commons actually *sucks* for
reuse because it's so hard to find stuff on it that many people no
longer even try!!1!one!".
