The add media Wizard is in testing see blog post:
http://metavid.org/blog/2009/03/27/add-media-wizard-and-firefogg-on-test-wikimediaorg/

If no one objects (or has any blocker bugs that I have missed) I will 
add the gadget option for firefogg / add media wizard to commons 
shortly. (for wider testing) We could also add the basic commons search 
as a gadget for wikipedia proper. (making commons image inserts much easier)

The searching remote repository and in-line upload and template  via url 
component that is working on test.wikimedia.org is not as easy to push 
out. The implementation on  test.wikimedia.org is limited to files that 
it can copy in less than 30 seconds (php time out ) and is parsing html 
page output to determine errors.  To move the add media wizard searching 
and insert into production we will need to deploy the new-upload branch. 
I will be targeting fixes to upload bugs 18200, 18201, 18202 to the 
new-upload branch.

Looking beyond English language gadgets ...  Localization is dependent 
on the javascript script server which I will create a patch for core 
shortly.
