If implemented, I would prefer this were a more general CC image search, covering Flickr, etc, as well as Wikimedia Commons.

Also, I presume this would be part of "insert image" popup in the update page? It might just be the options I have selected, but I don't see that popup in the new (beta) create entry page. Whatever happens, it will have to tie in to the new design. [personal profile] brainwane, it might help your case if you were to suggest some of the UI/workflow and/or how it might fit into the new create entry page.

But more generally, I agree with [personal profile] elf that DW is strongest for mostly-textual posts, and that it would annoy me to see people putting images in their posts based on keywords, because that has a whiff of "INCREASE YOUR BLOG TRAFFIC!!!!1" to me (possibly because it's the style of many link-baity commercial blogs), and that's not what I want DW to be about. OTOH, if other people want it, and it's just part of the "insert image" popup in the editor, then it's no skin off my nose.
