[Wikipedia-l] wikimage startup?

[Magnus Manske]

To "seed" this, I suggest importing all images and their description 
from en.wikipedia which link to either [[public domain]] or [[GFDL]]. 
This should take only a SQL dump and a brief script. It would be pure 
horror to re-upload all of these manually!
