I did this:

- this led me to

The first item of the list seems to be the good one :)
Hm... that would be

niced find, but the sade fact is: that's an orpahn! no categorization, no
gallery :( we have way too many of those.
also, hoping for an image description in fresh to be picked up by the full text
search is quite a gamble. compare

I would like so much to have a language-neutral search on commons. And I know
how to build it, too. Also, the OmegaWiki people are working on something like
this. Let's hope for the best.
Although language is a bummer, it was not my main concern, as you
pointed out in an earlier mail.
The fact that I can't go straight to "Road signs" from "Road signs in
Germany that tell a story" and then down again to "Road signs in
France that tell a story" rather than have to go through the whole
arborescence up and down again makes no sense to me.
So yes, there is much to do. I think that usability studies would be a
good first step. I hope we get some feedback from the general survey
in basic usability. We'll see.
