It should be easy to disable a plug-in without uninstalling it.

<paroneayea> plugins are configured currently via sections
<paroneayea> it's something like
<paroneayea> [plugins]
<paroneayea> [[mediagoblin.plugins.flatpages]]
<paroneayea> herp = derp
<paroneayea> I think
<paroneayea> and "configuring" a section turns that plugin on.

An idea on how to disable a plug-in without removing or commenting a whole section out line by line: add a “-” —

[[-mediagoblin.plugins.flatpages]]

E.g. pre-formatted text (represented with lines beginning with spaces).

Sometimes the database structures need to be generated using “./bin/gmg dbupdate”.

E.g. when there is no database yet, this is necessary for GMG to start. When you add media types, it is necessary to be able to store the media of those types (GMG transcoded a video clip but failed to store it).
