| Description | plupload is definitely what we want to use for our default uploader. Flash is dying and plupload provides a whole range of different uploader options, including HTML5.
We currently have it as an addon, but I'd like to bundle it. However, we need to purchase an OEM license for 80 EUR to be able to do this legally. http://www.plupload.com/commercial.php |

| Additional information | Maybe we will do it as some point, but if anyone wants to sponsor this ;-)... |

swfupload is workable, as is plain HTML -- so we will wait until someone wants to sponsor a plupload OEM license, or until ocProducts potentially makes another investment cycle.
We could have gone with a simple HTML 5 solution as both XHR 2 and the File API are widely supported now except for IE 8 and 9 (about 6% marketshare combined) for which we can just show a plain ol' input[type=upload]. :)

Besides, we do need to support IE9 first-class for at least another few years.
