+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/>`_.
