Importing your objects from other sites (github, thingiverse)

[traverseda]

It would be nice to help users import their objects from other sites. Right now the obvious targets are github and thingiverse. Github is potentially easy enough, it wouldn't even need to be a real import, we don't need to host the file objects ourself. just a view and search would work.

Thingiverse is a bit trickier, as they offer no nice way for us to check whether a user actually owns an object. We could authenticate through their app framework, except it specifically disallows any service that allows people to migrate off of thingiverse...

We'd have to ask the user for their thingiverse name/pass, which is an ugly way of doing it. Also, they claim to own all the files their user uploads, if we start getting users migrating, they might throw a hissy fit.

For thingiverse, we should just use #22 and #23. It should also work with cubehero.
