Flickr staff posted news about wait times for joining the Commons to the Flickr Commons group at the end of last week, and the news is good or bad, depending on where you are as an institution in the application process.

Institutions that have already applied to join the Commons will find the long, often silent wait time coming to a close — good news not only for those institutions but also for Commons users.

If you’ve just been thinking about submitting the paperwork to join, though, you have longer to prepare: new applications will not be accepted in 2010. However, Flickr’s Cris Stoddart (zyrcster) does have suggestions on how best to use that time on Flickr, and welcomes questions and suggestions.

Commons users are also happy to answer institution staff’s questions about what helps and encourages us to actively look for your uploads and to give the kind of information you need. Please do make joining the user-created Flickr Commons group part of your agenda for 2010!
