Hoi, There is a meeting of "Commons" people in Paris in November.. so Commons is not forgotten. The issue is that it makes sense to finnish things. One of my biggest frustrations is how long things take. It is for this reason that I am so pleased with the Usability Initiative because it regularly produces results. It is not an unending wait for whatever reason.
There is considerable stress to get Flagged Revisions rolled out. Let us get it over and done with so that we can move to other things.. for instance improvements to Commons..
FYI I have an interest in improving several things for Commons. Some things are waiting for adoption for over a year and I am not done waiting. Thanks, GerardM

We met Howie during our search for the Multimedia Usability Product Manager position, and were impressed by his background, particularly with regard to user focused product development, and some great first thoughts he sent us on how to improve the usability of Wikimedia Commons.
So right now, they are only hired to roll out flagged revs on en.wp. I think that improvements to Commons are at least as vital as en.wp problems, seeing that Commons is a mess in many places right now. Are there any plans to hire him for a Commons makeover? What exactly did he propose we improve? Have those improvements been published and discussed?
