Thanks for linking to those. The tour page, sadly, is pretty out of date... the screenshots they show don't reflect reality! Things look a lot nicer now I think. See also the video from the campaign page, which describes things better than the actual site: http://mediagoblin.org/pages/campaign.html Unfortunately the site is in bad need of updating; there's so much going on in the codebase right now that it's been hard to prioritize. Luckily we now have an intern who is going to be taking on that work! And yes, independent instances will be able to talk to each other soon. We have an Outreach Program for Women participant actively working on federation via the Pump API! https://github.com/e14n/pump.io/blob/master/API.md That's not all that's going on alone, but you can get some sense of what else is happening by checking out: http://me

Hi! Lead developer of MediaGoblin here. I agree, the frontpage of mediagoblin.org can use some improvement. We're working on that. If you want a fast summary of things, you can still watch the video from the crowdfunding campaign we ran last year with the FSF (hell, you can still donate too!). http://mediagoblin.org/pages/campaign.html We also have an intern helping us clean up the homepage. Things should be getting clearer soon, I think. I agree that http://mediagoblin.org/ could use some improvement. In the meanwhile, if you're wondering what it offers, right now it already supports nice photo, video, audio, document (pdf.js!), and even 3d model support. It's written in Python, so it's easy to get hacking on. We have a lot more exciting things on the way too, most noticably federation; we currently have someone working full time

on adding federation via the Pump API: https://github.com/e14n/pump.io/blob/master/API.md This will make it so that even though there's a bunch of separate MediaGoblin instances out there that you should be able to have a lot more of the same social features of other media hosting sites as if they're in the same place. I'm happy to answer questions if anyone has any!
