I think a wordpress style tool we can use to host our own videos and media is critical, and a github type alternative to Thingiverse is badly needed since makerbot gradually went all creepy after bagging 10million in open backing from the good will of the community.

I've been looking for self-hosted, F/OSS multimedia publishing software other than Coppermine/Gallery and qdig. I'll give it a try! Thanks for sharing.
