Re: MediaGoblin website moved to sourcehut pages (was: TLS certificate expired for mediagoblin.org, take 2)

[Ben Sturmfels]

Welcome André! I was worried for a minute that we'd confused things and
there was actually a framework called "Vanilla" when I found the below
site but it's actually a a hilarious parody site where the download is
zero bytes:

http://vanilla-js.com/

The mediagoblin code is at:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/mediagoblin.git

I did start on a "remove-jquery" branch, but you might want to
coordinate with jgart about what is best to work on.
