[edit] License for images
According to this page, the chimp image is not licensed under the GFDL. It is under a non-commercial-use only license.
According to Wikibooks:Copyrights:
- All content is considered to be released under the following terms unless otherwise indicated (for example; a clearly-marked quotation);
-
- Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.

- By clicking "Save page" you are indicating you grant the Wikimedia Foundation a license to use your work under terms of the above bolded text. If you do not agree with these terms, then do not submit your work to this website.
I wonder if this means "ABSOLUTELY do not submit" or if it really means "do not submit unless you plan to otherwise indicate that a non-GFDL license applies to the image." JWSurf 03:23, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)
WikiBooks Image Gallery
Some of us want to write books, others want to illustrate them. Instead of directly inserting the images into the texts, why not create a gallery , a repository ?
People who have images could donate them, maybe with a tiny legend, and then people who write the books could select among the available pictures.
This repository of images could also be shared across the various projects of Wikimedia.
[edit] WIkimedia Commons
There's now Wikimedia Commons, that stores pictures and other media for all their projects.--Alsocal 08:28, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
