Basically, I am happy enough with the upload wizard, and limiting the
functionality to Commons-enabled licenses would be good enough for
most of the use cases of casual image contributors. Yes, the
assessment needs to be done by community specialist, but I think that
is actually better separated than trying to limit the image
contributions to those who understand enough about Creative Commons,
Fair Use, etc.

I would love to see page context (across page-wiki and
commons-repo-wiki) and something like adding the images to a
"new-media-section" on the page-wiki being added. License assessment,
image selection, better image inclusion all being decoupled from image
contribution.

Neil, Erik: do you see a chance to put this into a wmf working plan?

PS: I tried to test the AddMediaWizard on both 1.18 and 1.19 trunk. Is
my analysis correct, that it cannot possible work? It requires
enabling require_once( "$IP/extensions/JS2Support/JS2Support.php" );
which no longer seems to exist in wmf mediawiki subversion. If this is
true, I think AddMediaWizard should also be removed from versions with
which it no longer works as well.
