   5 What is GNU MediaGoblin?
   6 ========================

   8 * Initially, a place to store all your photos that’s as awesome as, if
   9   not more awesome than, existing network services (Flickr, SmugMug,
  10   Picasa, etc)
  11 * Customizable!
  12 * A place for people to collaborate and show off original and derived
  13   creations.  Free, as in freedom.  We’re a GNU project after all.
  14 * Later, a place for all sorts of media, such as video, music, etc hosting.
  15 * Later, federated with OStatus!
