What is GNU MediaGoblin?
========================
* Initially, a place to store all your photos that’s as awesome as, if
not more awesome than, existing network services (Flickr, SmugMug,
Picasa, etc)
* Later, a place for all sorts of media, such as video, music, etc hosting.
* Federated with OStatus!
* Customizable!
* A place for people to collaborate and show off original and derived
creations. Free, as in freedom. We’re a GNU project in the making,
afterall.
Is it ready for me to use?
==========================
Not yet! We're working on it and we hope to have a usable system by
September / October 2011.
Can I help/hang out/participate/whisper sweet nothings in your ear?
===================================================================
Yes! Please join us and hang out! For more information on where we
hang out, see `our Join page `_
Where is the documentation?
===========================
The beginnings of a user manual is located in the ``docs/`` directory
in HTML, Texinfo, and source (Restructured Text) forms. It's also
available online at http://docs.mediagoblin.org/ in HTML form.
Contributor/developer documentation as well as documentation on the
project processes and infrastructure is located on
