We're still working on putting things in place to host other media, but we anticipate it will be at least a year before that happens. The work we've done over the last year has done some of the groundwork and also taught us a lot in terms of how to build more scalable code, what kinds of sever demands we can expect, etc. In our next wave of active development we plan to rebuild the code for works (this is one of the oldest parts of the code and so it's much more complicated than it needs to be); in the process we'll redesign some aspects of posting and browsing to make them more suited to multimedia works.
Our new roadmap is currently awaiting approval from the Board; once we post that users will be able to see more of an overview of what needs to be done and what order we'll be doing it in.
We know that it's taken much longer than originally expected to introduce artwork hosting. It's still high on our priority list, it's just that we didn't anticipate the pace of development and the challenges involved as accurately as we'd thought.
