Hm....I guess I should have posted about this here. Mako recently
created a MW extension called "EditImage" which lets you to easily
crop images.
See
announcement <http://mako.cc/copyrighteous/20080811-00>
extension <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EditImage>
demo <http://wiki.mako.cc/> (create an account, log in, look for an
image and try it out... change the skin in your prefs back to Monobook
if you're thrown by the unfamiliar interface, too :))
I left some preliminary bug reports here
<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_talk:Benjamin_Mako_Hill>. I hope
that with a little bit more work it can be stable enough to present
for enabling on Commons.
cheers
Brianna
