The string at mediagoblin/auth/forms.py:48 ("Your email will never be published.") may not apply to every instance of MediaGoblin: someone might want to install MediaGoblin and not promise to keep the e-mail addresses private.

The string needs to be changed/removed, or made admin-editable.

I'm working to update and revise a few documents from existing resources into our documentation (i.e. docs/).

http://wiki.mediagoblin.org/HackingHowto

The goal here is to provide an introduction to hacking on MediaGoblin that outlines both "how to get all of the necessary components working," in order to begin hacking on GMG.

As part of this, I want to include sections that answer the questions, "what/where are the (popular) components that one might be interested in working on," (i.e. templates, db schema, configuration files, urlmapping.) and "why are things the way they are," (drawing from existing design documents.)

The hacking howto in the wiki is too big and covers too many different things. It's better to break it up into smaller topics which are easier to link to.

Action items:

1. figure out how to break it up
2. break it up

The sooner this gets done, the better.
