Hey Addi,
Thanks for this additional info.
I had no idea.

My gut reaction is "Wow. It's 2007, and the Drupal CMS doesn't feel 
comfortable allowing pictures to be posted on their flagship site!"

My next reaction is, "Where do we need to push in order to make this 
possible?"

I mean, why not just create a new Input Format called something like 
"Filtered HTML w/ Images" that has the "<img>" tag included in the 
"Allowed HTML tags"? It doesn't have to be admin-only Full HTML.

  * Create a new Input Filter type for registered users
  * Enable the HTML, Line break converter & URL filters.
  * Goto drupal.org/admin/settings/filters/??/configure
  * And set the Allowed HTML tags to:
   "<a> <em> <strong> <cite> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <img>"

Am I missing something else here?
Like would it a problem to have photos hosted on third party photo 
sharing sites like Flickr?

I know Moshe has the <img> tag enabled over at groups.drupal.org, and I 
know I've used filter_xss() for some stuff that needed to have full HTML 
enabled.

Is this a legacy decision or has Drupal evolved to the point where it 
can handle photos?

IMHO having pictures can be a powerful and quick way to transfer 
information. And I know a lot of the flowcharts and visualizations in 
the Pro Drupal Development add a ton of value to the learning process. 
It seems a shame to not have more of these types of photos easily 
accessible throughout the drupal.org site.

Thanks,
-Kent.
