Just for clarification, I work for PCF and PCF maintains the system that 
Gnome Miro Community is on, but the software is a Django app released 
under the AGPL.  I can get it moved to any system you want.  I'm running 
Gnome Miro Community in my free time because I thought it would help 
Gnome--this is not a PCF endeavor.

I'm more than happy to share the responsibilities curating the site. 
I'm happy to pass the torch if you folks think someone else is better 
suited for the work.

This Miro Community is set up such that all submitted videos have to be 
accepted by a curator (admin).  I think that's true of user comments, too.

I hope Gnome Miro Community doesn't turn into a porn site.

I'll work through these soon.

Thank you!
