Member pictures

By being able to associate each member with a picture, it becomes easier to identify members in the app. It also makes the UI a bit friendlier. We would need to be able to upload, possibly compress, be made aware of, and be able to download, these pictures.

I've used ImageMagick bindings to convert images before. It's also possible that we could use a command-line tool like we are currently doing for the videos.

I imagine the API to work much like the video uploading endpoint - that is, it should be possible to upload and process images asynchronously. However, since these pictures will probably need to be uploaded through the web interface (in addition to the mobile app), we probably need to think about multipart for uploading, rather than the simply binary uploading mechanic we are using for video files.

It would be useful if we could investigate how the video uploading works (from the mobile app) with the existing API before we approach this, just so that we have more information on the matter.
