Creating this ticket for tracking purposes.

Right now I have issues-dev.mediagoblin.org setup. It uses the mysql db trac_dev instead of trac. There's what seems to be some database error, and you can't see tickets right now. I'll keep this updated as I fix things.

What I want to do:

• Test out new plugins
• Think about switching to postgres as the backend db (do we gain anything with this? I should test speed differences. Do we care?)
• Anything else that needs testing before going to the live instance

As discussed on IRC, some Web browsers (Apple Safari and Microsoft Internet Explorer) don't support WebM VP8+Vorbis media. Apparently Xiph.Org offers ​Apple QuickTime Compenents and ​Microsoft DirectShow Filters that should enable these browsers to play WebM VP8+Vorbis media.

MediaGoblin could recommend users of these browsers to install these packages to play media on MediaGoblin sites.

Another solution may be to support encoding in Ogg Theora+Vorbis (as requested in #567) and use ​Cortado to play media in these browsers (as well as older browsers that don't support HTML5 <video>).

Some of the ticket status values in this Trac instance are:

• new (like UNCONFIRMED in Bugzilla)
• accepted (= confirmed, like NEW in Bugzilla)
• in_progress (like ASSIGNED in Bugzilla)

Trac demo ​http://trac.edgewall.org/demo-1.0/ has at least:

• new
• accepted (= has an owner)

​http://issues.mediagoblin.org/report/9 has sections "Accepted" and "Owned". "Accepted" shows "accepted" tickets, which have no owner. "Owned" shows "new" and "in_progress" tickets. The "in_progress" tickets I've seen have an owner, but "new" tickets do not, so the "Owned" section is filled/called incorrectly.
