This will help avoid confusion with WSGI middleware.

The changes in Issue #582 introduced some interesting code:

def user_may_delete_media(controller):
...
        uploader = request.db.MediaEntry.find_one(
            {'slug': request.matchdict['media']}).get_uploader()

If two people have the same slug, this query will not always do the right thing(TM).

That said, I'd really prefer things like "edit" and "delete" use the id instead of the slug. It just feels safer and will avoid all these slug duplicates/etc issuess. I don't see anyone needing to bookmark the delete page? And bookmarking the edit page might have rare use cases, so those should be able to live with ugly urls.

For performance/safety reasons, we could consider to have an extra decorator for finding the media only by user/id or somesuch.

Chris, or whoever, may I get the appropriate role to use the wiki for this project?

I am keeping a list at http://interi.org/complex/mediagoblin, but I would like to expand on each of those items in turn, and use Redmine to easily link to them. It would be solely for elaborating complex mutli-issue ideas; I am aware of the normal wiki.
