[Wikitech-l] Larger thumbnails for MediaWiki / Wikimedia wikis?

Let's talk about something that's not text-related for a change. This has already been brought up on several venues recently; Antoine suggested I bring it up here [1], so I'm doing that. It's pretty clear that various wiki communities would like to see larger thumbnails [2], either by default or as an option. The largest we offer is 300px, the default is 220px, and that's like a speck of dust on the displays common these days. It is apparently not possible to provide a different set of sizes per-wiki, not to support more sizes than we support now [3]. Now the question is, can we enlarge them for all Wikimedia wikis at once instead? What if we lower the available number of sizes (we have 7 different ones now)? I haven't seen that answered anywhere, and I and others would love to know. (The latest request that sparked this e-mail is <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63440>.)
