[Wikipedia-l] Image uploads (new codebase)

In addition to a talk: page, an editable image description page would
be nice. The author could describe the image's copyright there, and
also how the image was acquired/generated. (If some automated script
was used to generate a picture, the GFDL arguably requires that the
source code of the script be available, since that is the "preferred
form of the work for making modifications to it.") This description
page would also show the current version of the image and uneditable
meta information (when uploaded, by whom etc.), and have a talk page
attached. You would access it by clicking on an image.

If at all possible, the history of the image description page should
show older versions of the image.

Like Brion said, we'd need another namespace: 
image: for the image
image description: for the description
image description talk: for talking
