Hoi,
Arguably when all repositories of media-files are Wikidatified, general
availability could be as difficult as selecting the appropriate license.
To do this no new project is needed as the Wikidata team has started work.
All that is needed is to have one database to know about all media files.
Thanks,
Gerard
