code. I added in two major pieces of functionality: table foundations and a
decorator to confirm whether or not a user is a member of a certain group.
Table Foundations are default rows that should be present in a given table as
soon as the database is initialized. For example, I am using these to populate
the core__groups table with all of the necessary groups ('moderator', 'com-
menter', etc). Right now, this is achieved by adding a dictionary of parameters
(with the parameters as lists) to the constant FOUNDATIONS in
mediagoblin.db.models. The keys to this dictionary are uninstantiated classes.
The classes which require foundations also have must have a constructor so that
the list of parameters can be passed appropriately like so:
Model(*parameters)
In order to implement these foundations, I added the method populate_table_fou-
-ndations to MigrationManager in mediagoblin.db.migration_tools.
The decorator, called user_in_group, accepts as a parameter a unicode string,
and then decides whether to redirect to 403 or let the user access the page. The
identifier is the Group.group_name string, because I believe that will allow for
the most readable code.
I also added in the simple decorator require_admin_login.
In terms of tightening up my code, I made many minor changes to my use of white
space and made a few small documentation additions. I removed a vestigial class
(ReportForm) from mediagoblin.user_pages.forms. I moved all of my migrations in-
to one registered Migration.

======== README ======== 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) * Customizable! * A place for people to collaborate and show off original and derived creations. Free, as in freedom. We’re a GNU project after all. * Later, a place for all sorts of media, such as video, music, etc hosting. * Later, federated with OStatus! Is it ready for me to use? ========================== Yes! But with caveats. The software is usable and there are instances running, but it's still in its early stages. Can I help/hang out/participate/whisper sweet nothings in your ear? =================================================================== Yes! Please join us and hang out! For more information on where we hang out, see `our Join page <http://mediagoblin.org/join/>`_ Where is the documentation? =========================== The beginnings of a site administration manual is located in the ``docs/`` directory in HTML, Texinfo, and source (Restructured Text) forms. It's also available online at http://docs.mediagoblin.org/ in HTML form. Contributor/developer documentation as well as documentation on the project processes and infrastructure is located on `the wiki <http://wiki.mediagoblin.org/>`_.
