I can push if needed.  I'd feel better pushing after I see that upload is 
functional (I still have no server with upload setup to test this with, I'll 
try to make a DXS server at home this weekend).

As far as upload/download web interface is concerned, HotStuff does that for 
us, though the web interface could be cleaned up a lot probably.  
http://data.kstuff.org shows the current state of it.  It is functional, but 
there are a couple issues with using that (josef has to set up each category, 
and svn account there currently, and he's very busy as always).

Thoughts, comments, questions?
