GNU MediaGoblin wiki of bizarre and unusual things
The MediaGobilin documentation is somewhat always in a state of transition. In the future, documentation about the software, its functioning, and its use/administration, will be in the manual at http://docs.mediagoblin.org/. At the same time, documentation for contributors that relates to project organization, community participation, and forward looking project planning will be here on the wiki. In the meanwhile, it's a mess.
