Re: website glitch

Thank you all for the cert fix.

As someone who knows next to nothing about Mediagoblin, I'd say that 
perhaps more importantly, the website gives the impression of a dead 
project. The "News" section's last post is from Wed 05 October 2016.

It's almost 2020; it should say something about the present and future. 
A few hundred words would be really useful. It should certainly mention 
that in January 2018, ActivityPub became a W3C recommendation, and there 
are now a number of high-profile implementations of this standard.

I don't think that there is currently any planned date for the next 
Mediagoblin release, and it might be good to say that. Saying that 
Mediagoblin has lost many of its developers and/or its developers' 
energy due to this refocussing hiatus, and is trying to regain momentum 
by doing X, or that its developers have decided that Mediagoblin was an 
excellent prototype that greatly assisted in the development of 
ActivityPub, but likely does not have a long-term future, would be much 
better than saying nothing.

The update might also include a link to 
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/mediagoblin.git/log/ to show current 
levels of activity.
