Second that. Being able to create extensions which handle uploading in widely different ways would be very useful. I'd love something that combines the Upload form with Semantic Forms.

We could really use the addition of file uploading support to the API. This would also be helpful for cell phone image type applications no?
Is there anyone actively looking into such a development? Any tips if I take that on?

I think the thing in the way of this is a better upload system (less integrated with Special:Upload). I know Bryan was working on it for awhile, dunno where he is on it these days.
