Description

I'm basically shopping for something that works like https://github.com/yogiben/meteor-autoform-file allowing arbitrary "file" fields on other collections and creating a file input component whose input get inserted into a predefined file collection.

There's none on atmosphere, I'm looking for a very basic solution, but since CollectionFS not being maintained, I think there's potential (22k installs, 1/3 of all collectionfs installs!) for this. So if anyone has started working on one, even privately, I may add in my effort to perhaps make it an officially published package on atmosphere.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate existing autoform file input packages for Meteor, such as meteor autoform file. Understand their API and how they integrate with file collections. Then explore the meteor file collection codebase to see how to add file upload support. Consider creating a simple prototype that adds a file input component to an autoform and stores the file via meteor file collection.
