The idea is to create a mediagoblin.setup submodule. This should contain code to get the app running.

Things to move there (as examples):

• celery_setup/ -> setup/celery/
• util.get_jinja_loader (and friends?)
• setup_beaker, if/when it's coming
• Maybe code from MediaGoblinApp.**init**()

This issue is to track this idea.

The website used to be in MoveableType and on the Foocorp servers. We've moved the site over to our own server now. We don't want to stick with MT, though, so we need to set up a web system thing.

Requirements:

1. can't suck
2. preferably python so we can fiddle with it
3. allows for blog entries, rss feeds, ...
4. web front-end
5. easy to use for non-Will people

I'm tossing around using PyBlosxom. We could generate the website like we're doing docs right now where it's statically generated with the source and the script in a repository.

I plan on working on this at the end of June when I get back.

After a discussion on IRC we've agreed that we should make post-registration friendlier.

• After registering, we should auto-login the user (but still not auto-verify their email)
• The user should immediately be redirected to a page like /auth/welcome/ that says:
  • Welcome to mediagoblin!
  • We sent you a registration email! You should click it before you can do anything! (Didn't get it? Click here to re-send)
  • Once you've done that, you can start doing interesting things on our site:
  • Update your bio!
  • Submit images!
  • Go to your homepage!
