> Hi,
> I wanted to bring to your attention a few critical issues that are negatively 
> affecting the workof the Commons community and the wider Wikimedia projects.
> First, there are about 36 unresolved bugs [0] in the "Media storage" 
> component. Swift is a vitalcomponent of the projects' ability to show images 
> and other media, and it having so manyopen bugs causes serious ongoing 
> issues, not only on Commons, but everywhere.
> Some of these bugs are high priority, and have been open since 2012. The 
> community of adminsare straining under the load, and it's not getting any 
> better now that additional paths into theupload pipeline are becoming 
> available.
> UploadWizard, too, is fundamentally broken. There are a *lot* of open bugs 
> [1] [2] and the interfaceis in need of design love.
> It would be awesome to see these issues addressed in the coming months. In 
> particular, becauseWiki Loves Monuments will start in September, it would be 
> great to have these issues fixedon or before August 13th, giving Commons 
> about two weeks to test the fixes and changesbefore the contest starts, and 
> plenty of room for backporting urgent fixes.
