Image uploading/management
I want to improve how our clients use images in our CMS. Currently we just have a normal upload field when adding or editing a page. I guess I was wondering if anyone had any tips on best practices for making image uploading and management simple and usable. An initial idea I had was to create an image library, so we could have one image used on multiple pages and allow batch uploads. Any more ideas would be much appreciated.

Re: Image uploading/management
Are you thinking in terms of image management, as you mentioned having an image pool, that can be used on multiple locations or do you also mean in terms of UI, so say allow multiple file uploads etc?
Image pool is a good idea, especially if the images are going to be used in multiple places - no need to upload the same image more than once. What about image resizing?
There are a lot of jQuery libraries out there for image resizing, multiple uploads etc.
