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.

I created an account at a media goblin site and uploaded a video. Was told woohoo success. Yet there was no video to be seen.

Perhaps this glitch happened because I didn't allow JavaScript?
