If you have a non-default database configured for MediaGoblin, running gmg wipealldata will delete the default database.

This is inconvenient if you have multiple instances running on the same machine.

It would be nice if we could support viewing presentations and/or documents in MediaGoblin. Minimally, it would be great if I could upload PDFs and have them openable in MediaGoblin via pdf.js.

I've had this problem since setting up GMG in December, just confirmed after an upgrade to 0.2.1: when I run ./bin/python setup.py develop --upgrade the process fails, and I get PIL errors when I attempt to run GMG and visit any image page.

Here is the PIL output from ./bin/python setup.py develop --upgrade:

I've been using a workaround. I have the python-imaging package installed in Ubuntu, so I just run rm -rf lib/python2.7/site-packages/PIL-1.1.7-py2.7-linux-i686.egg/ and restart GMG, which I presume causes it to use the version of PIL I have installed system-wide, and everything works fine after that, but I'm not sure how to fix the setup.py PIL virtualenv install...
