Heya! So, we sometimes get comments about the branding choice of "goblins"... our goblins are actually not evil, though I agree that a lot of $STANDARD_FANTASY they're used as evil characters. Our goblins are more "bui

We're working on federation support, and I think that would be pretty fair to call decentralized? Decentralized can have various definitions; GNUNet is definitely one definition, but you might consider that the web itself is supposed t

Heya! Well, our architecture is very Flask-like, but yes it does not use Flask. There's kind of "historical reasons" for this; at the time that I started MediaGoblin Flask was fairly new, and we started out using MongoDB (s

Definitely! We have a lead graphic designer and nearly 50 programmers. As you can imagine that graphic designer is overstretched. Do you know any graphic designers who are interested in helping make MediaGoblin nicer? Point them our way

It's a legitimate complaint that syadmin'ing all these services is a lot of work, but I think that's actually an argument for working to make deployment of services such as MediaGoblin easier. Right now deploying web applica

Heya! So, it's hard to know precisely re: 1.0, but I'm anticipating approximately towards the end of the year. Federation is the big thing we're still waiting on until we consider ourselves 1.0-worthy. Probably we could ha

Thanks for linking to those. The tour page, sadly, is pretty out of date... the screenshots they show don't reflect reality! Things look a lot nicer now I think. See also the video from the campaign page, which describes things bette

Hi! Lead developer of MediaGoblin here. I agree, the frontpage of mediagoblin.org can use some improvement. We're working on that. If you want a fast summary of things, you can still watch the video from the crowdfunding campaign we

Yeah, I'm also surprised to see people so upset about the idea of the feature mostly for the argument that it doesn't presently exist. As for the compile-time-extension, my main concern with that as a free software project is tha

Thanks for that correction. I updated the post.

Yep, and I said in the article that I'd be happy to pay for adding other ALTER TABLE methods... if someone ran a funding campaign, I'd donate quite a bit of money. I still suspect that if such a campagign was run, we'd see a

The problem though is that Alembic doesn't want to engineer itself around implementing the tooling because it's so painful (and the author of that tool is himself asking for this kind of alter table support) and sqlalchemy-migrate

Thanks for that helpful reply! Interesting to see that what I wrote out isn't far from what reality would be. I appreciate your informed input here. But still, as I described in the post, all these bits of tooling that other develope
