simple question (offtopic?)

[K.]

Hi there.

I'm interested in being able to implement this scenario: Being able
to save straight to server an image from clipboard. This is to ease
the transfer of images from word documents/emails into our wiki-fied
knowledgebase.

I would love if people could click a link in the wiki to "upload image
from clipboard", I'm running apache/php/mysql-based wiki.

I would love if people could do this in IE/Firefox/chrome

- me googling how to do this hasn't come up with many answers, so I've
been trying to see what programming language could help me get as
close to what I want as possible.. but as I'm a beginner, I'm not able
to understand what's best to use and how to best use it, and although
I'm interested in trying Google Web Toolkit, I don't know enough to
tell whether it's something I can use.

If someone knowledgeable can recommend or theorize what solution I
should be looking towards as an implementation, I'd appreciate it.

GWT is just plain old javascript at the end of the day. Since it is not possible to achieve this use case in javascript, you can't do it in GWT.

Google Gears (a browser extension) provides a way to drag and drop files and upload them to the server. I haven't tried it myself, but this article explains the concept.
