Introduction

There are many features that one can think of for MediaGoblin. Some should be implemented really soon, because they are needed right now. Other features would be nice to have, but are currently really hard to implement. And finally there are the Feature Ideas that can be classified as "brain storming".

This wiki page is mostly for long term feature ideas. This specifically means there are no promises that anything listed here will ever happen. It means nobody is currently working on this feature.

If you have an idea for a new feature, that is not listed here or in the Bug Tracker, please talk to some developers, or add it below in the "Yet Unsorted Ideas" section. If you really think, that your idea is extremely important and needs to be acted upon soon, you could file a bug.

The List

If there is a bug (closed or open), please link to it.

Access Control

  • Renaming of an account
    • by its user
    • by an admin
  • Account creation / activation, considering e-mail address
    • Expire inactive accounts
    • A method of account activation: ask the user to send e-mail message with a specified text from the address they entered, instead of GMG sending a message to that address (which could be somebody else’s).
      • What about faked addresses? If that’s a serious problem for this, could it still be a requirement? Or is it so serious that it would bother malicious misusers least of all people? --Aleksejrs 15:17, 7 December 2011 (EST)
    • The above allows accepting multiple inactive accounts for the same e-mail address without bothering its owner and without making it difficult for him to register.
      • But accounts could have the same name… --Aleksejrs 15:14, 7 December 2011 (EST)

Design

  • Point and click theme options: Colors, layout, typefaces, size, thumbnail options, etc.
    • Simple settable options to "personalize" the instance without fiddling with templates.
  • Responsive base theme
  • User Avatar

Extensions

  • A link to the page about installed (and not installed?) plugins.

Federation

Import/Export

  • flickr Import
  • MediaWiki export
  • digiKam plugin (export to mediagoblin)

Licensing

  • Help the site admin comply with the AGPL.
  • Creative Commons choice on user profile. E.g. default license choice for media uploaded by that user.
  • “Other (please specify: [ ])” license as an alternative to “All rights reserved”.

Media Processing

Media Types

  • For non-still-images:
    • Duration
    • Bitrate
    • Format structure (e.g. “Ogg/Theora+Vorbis”)
    • Permit pre-encoded uploads to eliminate server-side processing
    • Support Ogg/Theora player
    • Subtitles for video and audio
  • A way to find out what formats can be uploaded.
    • E.g.: A simple type list near the upload field.

Metadata

  • Ability to write metadata (comments, tags, etc.) to files.
  • Copy (some) metadata from the full‐size image into the smaller versions. If possible (according to metadata formats), add a note to them that they are not exactly the original.
    • #94: exif data handling for users (about privacy)
    • #284: Support "Orientation" EXIF tag (fixed)
    • EXIF info?
  • Display more info about the file on its page
    • Resolution of the original
    • File size of the original
    • Resolution of the scaled-down version
  • "trans-tagging": Adding tags to other peoples media #251
  • Geotagging support.
    • Both read and write.
    • Display on OpenStreetMap.

Security

  • DONE: CSRF (#76)
  • X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
    Served pages have the content-type set. And the browser should not be allowed to guess a different type. See: Firefox bug #471020
  • "Content Security Policy" (CSP) might really be a good add on to have. Noone should rely solely on this, but it might make things a lot safer if other security guards fail.
    A simple allow 'self' might already get a lot of things better.

  • Possibly disallowing pages to be shown in frames.
