User:Joar/Proposed usecase
This is the proposed default usecase for newly deployed GNU MediaGoblin applications.
Gavroche
Gavroche is an independent artist living in a suburb of Paris, France. Gavroche creates audible, text, visual and moving pictures often under the CC-BY-SA license.
Gavroche is currently a GNOME3 user. Gavroche uses desktop applications such as
- Blender, for animations and VFX
- Shotwell/digiKam, for digital photo development
- GIMP, for photo editing
- Vim/Emacs/$FOO
Gavroche would like to be able to submit stuff directly from any of these applications, but he should not be required to launch any of them to be able to upload anything.
Desktop application integration is certainly possible sine the API. The main limitation would be the desktop application itself.
Submitting via the web
Gavroche uses Firefox or Chromium/Chrome, he might use IE10, but that's a rare occasion. He avoids IE <= 9 because he has a feeling that they might not be usable everywhere on the web.
Gavroche might have several files, or even a folder of files that he wants to upload. The files might be videos, images, audio, ascii, source files such as .xcf, .blend, etc.
Gavroche drags and drops the files from nautilus to his browser window where the MediaGoblin instance is running. He starts with the finished works, then he drops the source files from them onto them. He might drop several files at a time, but only on one soon-to-be mediaentry at a time.
