This document attempts to describe the envisioned workflow of mediagoblin, from a structural standpoint. For now, nothing in this document is probably the eventual, final way that things will work. Eventually as things come to exist, this document will hopefully be refactored to describe how things do work.
This documented on hopes, dreams, rainbows, and unicorns. And it will come to fulfillment through a lot of hard work.
Mairin Duffy made mockups for something called Design Hub. That project did a number of things differently than the way we intend to go, but it’s probably a good idea to steal a good number of ideas from here.

Here’s an ascii art mockup on how things might look for a user’s page:

So that’s a very deviantart-inspired design there. I’m not sure that I like it.
It’s possible we’ll go with something much more minimalist.
It’s possible that we could support multiple profile styles here, and you could load whatever profile style you want as set by user preferences?
Here’s an uploading mockup:
