Please consider updating the mediagoblin website and documentation to refer to ​https://git.gitorious.org/mediagoblin/mediagoblin.git , not to the ​git:// URL.

Rationale: ​git:// is unauthenticated. In theory, users should be checking signatures on signed tags, but many users will omit that step in practice. Giving them a ​https:// URL instead gives them a modest security improvement.

On ​http://mediagoblin.readthedocs.org/en/v0.5.1/siteadmin/deploying.html , the instructions for deploying mediagoblin itself are:

git clone git://gitorious.org/mediagoblin/mediagoblin.git
cd mediagoblin
git submodule init && git submodule update

It would probably be a good idea to recommend that users make sure that they're getting the real mediagoblin code, and not a trojan or something. One part of doing that would be to point them at the https URL (see #786), but since tags are signed, it might be a good idea to include instructions for checking signed tags too.

When attempting to add an audio file, the immediate response is that the submission was successful, but after a minute or two, the Media Processing Panel reports that the upload failed to process. I have attempted this with Ogg/Vorbis, FLAC, and WAV files, with the exact same results. Images do work though; I have not tried other media types.

As you can see from the comments of the third image, at least one other user is experiencing this problem as well.
