One of our listed intern projects is exactly that. It's not a high priority project for the Daala team because we already have good royalty-free image codecs, but not video codecs. We have finite time, so we choose to attack what we see as the more important problem. Developing a still image format from Daala is possible but not as trivial as it looks (the same can be said for the WebP work from WebM).
