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?
