It was a very nice surprise to see NeilK again, indeed.

As for the UploadWizard plans, there wasn't a single comment from the
community in the last several months, so I left some at

and I hope/pray more Commons users will bother to add theirs.

No, I meant that we've done a bunch of work in parallel in August:

- Pau Giner, Abbey Ripstra and Fabrice Florin have primarily focused
on prototyping and validating a bunch of changes to media viewer, with
some help from the dev team. The changes that have tested well are now
being implemented very rapidly.

- The multimedia dev team has spent a fair bit of time doing some
initial UploadWizard refactoring and code cleanup. We've also
contracted Neil Kandalgaonkar, the original UploadWizard developer
(who left WMF a while ago), to help out a bit and provide some history
on the project.

- In addition, the dev team has focused a fair bit on improved
instrumentation (measurement of user actions, success/failures), both
for Media Viewer and Upload Wizard.

This is indeed underway, and has been for some time, with focus on bug
fixes and code quality improvements.

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/UploadWizard,n,z

Recent work on Media Viewer has been primarily UX prototyping and
validation of the prototype. Based on user research and feedback,
we'll implement only very tightly scoped improvements that have been
validated in the prototype or that require no UX validation (e.g.
attribution and performance improvements).

The best place to follow all the work the team is doing is the
