What is this?

This module implements the ReSTful backend of the gachou project.

It contains implementations for most of the interfaces contained in the gachou-api module.

That is, there is an implementation of the core-api as well as default implementations for all plugins.

As the work proceeds, plugins may be extracted into their own projects. The core-api will remain here. It's job is to tie together the plugins and implement workflows that call the right plugins at the right time. (i.e. Download the original file from the media-store, create a thumbnail, upload the thumbnail to the store)

Plugins implement the actual work (like creating thumbnails or extracting metadata).

The implementation of the tasks-api uses a simple queue at the moment. In the future, it might be possible to change this into a distributed system with a full-featured message-queue and worker nodes.
