User:Danmichaelo created a neat lossless cropping tool on Tool Labs
that uses OAuth so you can edit right in your browser without having a
separate login.

OAuth consumer info:

This shows what's possible with OAuth and it'd be nice to see more
such tools. There are at least a couple open source web based editors
that might be fairly straightforward to integrate:

SVG-edit: http://svg-edit.googlecode.com/svn/branches/2.6/editor/svg-editor.html
Microphone based recording: http://danieldemmel.me/JSSoundRecorder/

A bit more experimental (license status unclear):
https://github.com/plucked/html5-audio-editor

Future (for screencast recording):
