It will likely be in the fall.  I need to be a bit less lazy about the 
uploading process.  Currently, the upload process loads the entire 
upload into memory before it writes it out to disk.  This is fine for 
images but will take too much RAM for animations. I need to change the 
upload to stream directly to a file.

Fortunately, I now have another volunteer to help with the software 
development so we should be able to get to that soon.
