I have outlined some of my hopes for the future of MediaWiki in
file/image management (ie. the Commons) in comments on this bug:
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3712

I dream of a MediaWiki II that is actually designed to manage media -
like the name implies. :)

Vastly improved and more flexible search would also benefit all wikis.
There is a hella lotta potential for improving options when working
with categories, too (for example, I envisage a drop-down list with
options for the sort key - date page created, date added to category,
page name (alphabetical - current default), date page was last edited.
etc.

cheers,
Brianna
