     Introducing Flickypedia, our first tool!

     Our tech lead explains this simple (and good-looking) tool that gives users easy way to copy appropriately-licensed photos from Flickr to Wikimedia Commons. It does duplicate checking, license checking, and the project includes a "Backfillr Bot" which goes and adds Flickr IDs to the 10M images from Flickr which are already on Wikimedia Commons.

     Read all about it, we think it's really cool.
