Link?
On
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Usability , I
believe it's one of the two PDFs linked at the bottom.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Usability/Test_Februar_2…
is on de:wp, but is in English. I think this is the report in
question.
There's lots and lots of things wrong other than the image interface, of
course.
Wwwolf has a page here too:

Ah, thanks! I didn't know about these.
There's also
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Usability which could stand some
updating.
The pdf link you mention seems to be broken though :( -- does anyone know if
the .pdf report was the same as what's posted at de:?
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Usability/Test_Februar_2…
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Usability>Does anyone have a copy of the
pdf?
I still think it'd be worth getting another outside usability assessment*;
it looks like the German report was likely based on an old version of the
de: upload page, which is pretty different from the giant pages full o'
instructions that we have on en: now.
