People trying to run MediaGoblin installs often run into issues with permissions. If we had MediaGoblin simply run as www-data in the docs, this could simplify things drastically.

There may be some security concerns but I can't think of any clear ones.

Now that the plugin infrastructure is getting very strong, there's decreasing reason for us to have media types be their own thing. Why not make them plugins? This will enable a whole bunch of new possibilities: plugins can add views specific to them, etc, etc.

It's possible we may need to add some extra media-type-specific metadata for plugins, but I think this should be possible.

It would be nice if a user could change their email address associated with their account, similar to how they can change their password. That way, they don't have to delete their account and start over if they get a new email address.
