While we're on that topic, what's happening to multimedia? I believe that at one time there was a multimedia team, and I could understand how pairing multimedia with maps in the same team could make sense. If multimedia is separate, it would be good to know where that's being housed now; I believe that there's work happening with 3D files for Commons, and I vaguely recall hearing about improvements to the Commons upload wizard.
