I think there are plenty of DAMs out there that address your use case, even in GNU land. But the social aspect to media cataloging, organizing, and curating is an aspect to working with digital media that does not have a GNU solution besides MediaGoblin. It is very important to content creators that such functionality does exist. In today's world of digital media, this precise feature, which enables easy collaboration, addresses one of the industry's biggest pain points. Even the monolithic media companies struggle to implement useful solutions to this problem.

> I think there are plenty of DAMs out there that address your use case, even in GNU land. (I had to look up what you mean by DAM. I assume digital asset manager?) Are there? What easy-to-install, modern, libre, web-based personal Flickr replacements are there? Do the work generically with many different types of media? I don't know of any. That doesn't mean they don't exist, but I've known about mediagoblin for quite a few years now. And the product that mediagoblin shows on their website is exactly the product I'm talking about. It's exactly the product that everyone using Flickr but who wants to be able to also include sound files or who would like to be able to migrate away from Flickr to something more free wants to use. Except installing mediagoblin is a big ol' pile of shell commands and text config files, and that's if you somehow navigate your way to something current.
