Under the redesigned grants scheme, WMF Project grants might be able to
help with this kind of software development work for Commons and/or
Wikisource. I happen to know a developer here in Cascadia who might be
interested, either as an individual or in association with a Wikimedia
affiliate, in doing this kind of work on a grant or contract basis.
Pinging Kacie for comment about possible grant funding. (:

Well, of course.
But, from where I see it, this is something to be address centrally:
Commons and Wikisource communities are fairly small and at least in
Wikisource we don't have any volunteer designers or UX people. The amount
of staff time dedicated from the WMF to Wikisource is zero, from the
beginning (I don't know about Commons). So, yes, you're right, but this is
not a problem that communities can solve by themselves.
