Seems like it'd be helpful to have a wiki. The wiki needs to have
the following properties:


1. editable by contributors without crazy hassle creating groups
   and permissions
2. can't suck
3. must have decent anti-spam measures that don't make it a hassle

Adding Chris and Tomaz for their thoughts.

It should be possible to do something like:

::

    ./bin/gmg wipe_environment mediagoblin.ini

This should then ask the user to confirm (the user should have to
type "yes") but should then wipe all:


-  sessions
-  the database specified in mediagoblin.ini
-  the files in the specified public\_store and queue\_store
   (assuming they're of BasicFileStore type)

It would be great if we could have something like:

::

    >>> from mediagoblin.util import parse_app_config
    >>> parse_app_config(path_to_config_file, app_section='app:mediagoblin')
    (app_config, global_config)

where the former is the app config (a dictionary of all values you
see in [app:mediagoblin] in mediagoblin.ini) and the latter is the
global config (a dictionary of dictionaries for all sections).

This tool kind of already exists in
mediagoblin/celery\_setup/**init**.py, you can see a section like:

::

        parser = NicerConfigParser(mgoblin_conf_file)
        parser.read(mgoblin_conf_file)
        parser._defaults.setdefault(
            'here', os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(mgoblin_conf_file)))
        parser._defaults.setdefault(
            '__file__', os.path.abspath(mgoblin_conf_file))
    
        mgoblin_section = dict(parser.items(mgoblin_section))
        mgoblin_conf = dict(
            [(section_name, dict(parser.items(section_name)))
             for section_name in parser.sections()])

This should be:


-  separated out into an independent utility
-  given tests in mediagoblin/tests/test\_util.py
-  able to take the specific section as the app\_section keyword
   argument (defaults to 'app:mediagoblin')
-  bonus feature? If 'app:mediagoblin' is not found maybe we could
   find the section by iterating through until we find the one that
   has 'use': 'egg:mediagoblin#app'
