MediaGoblin

MediaGoblin is media-sharing software that runs as a website. Right now it is in early development.

Wishlist
Here are things I would like MediaGoblin to do, roughly in order of importance to me:


 * Improved commenting - Specifically, non-registered visitor commenting. The way it works in WordPress is pretty nice, with the permission: "before a comment appears comment author must have a previously approved comment" ("appears" refers to skipping moderation and instantly publishing).
 * Configurable feeds - At the very least, I would like to have thumbnails show up, though it would be nice to be able to set the size...
 * Configuration panels - This one isn't as important, but it would be nice for a plugin or core to have admin panels to set some of the configuration.
 *  Better More Documentation - This is the least important to me, because the project is very new, and there has already been a lot of effort put into the documentation. A sub-list of docs I would like are:
 * Upgrading
 * Various configuration options (but they are going to change a lot at this point)
 * Specific OS install docs (just because I think that will help adoption)


 * HTML Formatting option - Currently mg has Markdown support; I would like common HTML elements to be used. See http://bugs.foocorp.net/issues/689.
 * Federation - There are already issues being worked on to get mg OStatus-enabled. I have a feeling that nearly anything else is easier to do, so this is not a priority for me.

Killer features
Not all of MediaGoblin is wishes; there are already some really great features.


 * Cloud Storage - I get to use Cloud Files, which I already use for most of my sites. For a gallery, it loads super fast!

Plugin ideas
Here are some things that I don't think should go into core, because not everyone, or most people, will want them.


 * Piwik integration - Piwik analytics. Useful for those stat whores among us (I am totally one).
