That'd be great. The FileDrop code is almost trivial - the trick will be figuring out where and how to patch it into JUMP. One thing that will be needed I think is a mapping from file extensions to DataSource types (AFAIK that's not present now).
I'd volunteer myself, but right now all my open source hours are taken up with JTS stuff...
