Description
I feel more natural using ".sample" suffix instead of having 2 confusing .ini files

Replying to cwebber:
- Add a makefile rule to do this copy if mediagoblin.ini does not exist.
- Update docs if needed, which given the makefile update, it might not be needed at all.
Exactly what should be done here? Should a cp operation be hard-coded into Makefile.in? If so, should this command be added under install?
So far, I've renamed the file and added *.ini.sample to the recursive-includes in MANIFEST.in.

This really ought to happen. Moving to 0.8.0.
Our makefile situation is pretty... unclear at the moment. As such, I suggest this being a docs change, among other things.
Bonus points if mediagoblin doesn't see the file and does the copying itself. I think that would actually make this easiest.

qguv, not sure if you're still interested in working on this... (sorry about the long delay on replying, too). Let me know.

Closing. We are now using mediagoblin.example.ini, and the makefile does things right.

This is a good idea, and a bitesized issue for whoever might want to take it on.
There are really only three steps I think:
git mv mediagoblin.ini mediagoblin.ini.sample
