The garbage collection task has not been specified correctly.

In mediagoblin/init/celery/init.py, mediagoblin.submit.task.garbage_collection is specified.

The task in mediagoblin/submit/task.py is called collect_garbage

Run celery with -l info to see the error produced.

Personal preferences aside, this would just be nice to have.

Support for JSON (maybe other formats too?) would be trivial to implement. Especially so for JSON, as Python has all the UTF-8 encoding magic build in.

When adding media via the commandline, UTF8 characters in either --title or --description cause a UnicodeDecodeError:

(mediagoblin)[gmg@dichromate mediagoblin]$ gmg addmedia moggers87 doge.png --title "test ß"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/gmg/mediagoblin/bin/gmg", line 9, in <module>

    return unicode(some_string)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 5: ordinal not in range(128)

The cause of this error is in the maybe_unicodify method ​here. Python 2 defaults to decoding strings to Unicode as ASCII - simply adding "utf8" as the second argument will solve this issue.
