---- The objective of this project is to increase participation in and contributions to Wikimedia Commons by implementing a 13month software development, usability testing and documentation project to improve the interface for uploading multimedia files to Wikimedia Commons. The deliverables should include the following key improvements: •an integrated upload tool that can be accessed directly from the editing window; •Wikipedia integration of Wikimedia Commons as a repository to store freely licensed media; •an intelligent workflow for fair use media that are not permissible on Wikimedia Commons; •an upload form process that emphasizes common defaults above less frequent use cases; •separated instructions and tutorials for conveying key policy information and background on copyright law and licensing. ---- And thank god for that! :) I can't wait.
