I am curious as to the nature of that 5 GB > and it is too much of a pain for him to upload it. Can you clarify? Uploading ~1000 images is bound to be /tedious/, but it's not /difficult/ with something like Commonist (http://www.djini.de/software/commonist/) > If Google is to become usable, it needs to support languages like > Persian, Gujarati, Amharic to make the images we have available to all > of our community. I think you're in the wrong place to suggest changes to Google. > Given that Commons has only 3.7 million files is hardly a sign of its > success, compare it to Flickr and you see what the "competition" is doing. This comparison makes no sense. The vast majority of the images on Flickr are illegal, non-free, non-educational, or all three. Commons does not want those images. There are a small subset that are appropriate for Commons, and editors (including me) work on bringing them over.
