Hello,

I have been quite busy with the API and OAuth plugins for mediagoblin
lately, they're now operational and I have built two clients mainly
for testing the API and OAuth plugins but also as a reference for
other developers that may want to develop applications that interact
with mediagoblin.

One of the applications is a command-line autouploader tool called
automgtic which is located at https://github.com/jwandborg/automgtic.

The other application is a web application which posts entries to
mediagoblin via CORS[1] and FileAPI[2] called OMGMG and is located at
https://github.com/jwandborg/omgmg.

The mediagoblin OAuth plugin is based on the OAuth draft v2.25[3].

The mediagoblin OAuth plugin does not really conform to the
specification[draft] as of now - Some of the concerns are outlined in
the Incapabilities section of the OAuth plugin docs[4] but even the
Capabilities section[5] contains components that do not fully conform
to the spec.

The API has two useful views, one for fetching instance-wide entries
and another for posting media. There's certainly more useful views to
add, and you are more than welcome to help me out defining which those
useful views are.

Criticism, appreciation welcome!
