[p2pu-dev] attachments/uploads?

+1 for Jessica.
Also, it does make things a bit more complicated in terms of copyright if we
allow for uploads.

That said, it was something that came up quite a few times on the old site -
organisers did want to upload various materials.
Would it be really hard to (and this is a non-tecchie asking so forgive me)
make a thumbnail appear alongside a link, like it does on Facebook? Visually
a bit more interesting than just a hyperlink...
