========================================================
Workflow, and other structurally significant braindumps
========================================================
This document attempts to describe the envisioned workflow of
mediagoblin, from a structural standpoint. For now, *nothing* in this
document is probably the eventual, final way that things will work.
Eventually as things come to exist, this document will hopefully be
refactored to describe how things *do* work.
This documented on hopes, dreams, rainbows, and unicorns. And it will
come to fulfillment through a lot of hard work.
Look and feel
=============
Default look and feel
---------------------
Mairin Duffy made mockups for something called Design Hub. That
project did a number of things differently than the way we intend to
go, but it's probably a good idea to steal a good number of ideas from
here.

User profile mockup
-------------------
Here's an ascii art mockup on how things might look for a user's page::
_____

So there's this type of interface that puts a lot of different types
of info on the same screen. I'm not sure that I like it. It's
possible we'll go with something much more minimalist. Maybe we'll go
with something "tabbed" the way statusnet / http://identi.ca is on
user pages.
It's possible that we could support multiple profile styles here,
and you could load whatever profile style you want as set by user
preferences?
Uploading mockup

Customizability
---------------
General site theming customizability is pretty easy! Since we're
using `Jinja <http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/>`_ we can just set up
user-overriding directories.
We'll also figure out some sort of way to provide theming "packages",
eventually.
