+What is GNU MediaGoblin?
+========================
+
+* Initially, a place to store all your photos that’s as awesome as, if
+  not more awesome than, existing network services (Flickr, SmugMug,
+  Picasa, etc)
+* Later, a place for all sorts of media, such as video, music, etc hosting.
+* Federated with OStatus!
+* Customizable!
+* A place for people to collaborate and show off original and derived
+  creations Free, as in freedom. We’re a GNU project in the making,
+  afterall.
