8 | mostly because we didn't have a better place for it. | |

15 | This document attempts to describe the envisioned workflow of GNU | |
16 | MediaGoblin, from a structural standpoint. For now, *nothing* in this | |
a1302608 CAW |
17 | document is probably the eventual, final way that things will work. |
18 | Eventually as things come to exist, this document will hopefully be | |
19 | refactored to describe how things *do* work. | |
20 | ||
21 | This documented on hopes, dreams, rainbows, and unicorns. And it will | |

22 | come to fulfillment through a lot of hard work. Your hard work and my |
23 | hard work. | |

32 | Mairin Duffy made mockups for something called Design Hub. That | |
33 | project did a number of things differently than the way we intend to | |
34 | go, but it's probably a good idea to steal a good number of ideas from | |
35 | here. | |

83 | So there's this type of interface that puts a lot of different types | |
84 | of info on the same screen. I'm not sure that I like it. It's | |
85 | possible we'll go with something much more minimalist. Maybe we'll go | |
86 | with something "tabbed" the way statusnet / http://identi.ca is on | |
87 | user pages. | |
88 | ||
89 | It's possible that we could support multiple profile styles here, | |
90 | and you could load whatever profile style you want as set by user | |
91 | preferences? | |
92 | ||

120 | | You can type it up in here and everything | | |
121 | | and it'll show up under the image. | | |
122 | | | | |
123 | | Possibly we should allow some kind of | | |
124 | | markup... maybe markdown? | | |

132 | Customizability | |
133 | --------------- | |
134 | ||
135 | General site theming customizability is pretty easy! Since we're | |
136 | using `Jinja <http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/>`_ we can just set up | |
137 | user-overriding directories. | |
138 | ||
139 | We'll also figure out some sort of way to provide theming "packages", | |
140 | eventually. | |
