        Leo_Verto: I mean after having a solid foundation.

      • Leo_Verto
        definitely
      • 2016-01-26 02652, 2016

      • Leo_Verto
        we discussed some possible ways of gamification over a year ago

        ruaok: Thank you very much. You've pretty much anwered my questions :)
      • 2016-01-26 02631, 2016

        Leo_Verto: I was thinking of some application in QT that would show you what it pulled from databases and let you compare them and choose the best.
      • 2016-01-26 02646, 2016

      • Leo_Verto
        that sounds like a great idea
      • 2016-01-26 02655, 2016

      • stanislas
        Leo_Verto: Not a user script
      • 2016-01-26 02606, 2016

      • stanislas
        Leo_Verto: It would require only one database.
      • 2016-01-26 02622, 2016

      • Leo_Verto
        and directly use the ws, I assume?
      • 2016-01-26 02626, 2016

      • stanislas
        yes
      • 2016-01-26 02635, 2016

      • stanislas
        I even know how to do that.
      • 2016-01-26 02617, 2016

      • stanislas
        I've been working with it for like 2 or 3 weeks.
      • 2016-01-26 02653, 2016

      • stanislas
        It would made identifiers also more usable.
      • 2016-01-26 02602, 2016

      • stanislas
        And if you want some library to be added you would just write the code that regards it and not the whole user script.
      • 2016-01-26 02602, 2016

      • Leo_Verto
        hmm, we'd have to look into how to generate oauth tokens for that
      • 2016-01-26 02606, 2016

      • stanislas
        That shouldn't be a big problem, should it ? I will ask other BB contributors what they think about this idea.
      • 2016-01-26 02602, 2016

      • Leo_Verto
        No, we just haven't had to handle that yet since the site is currently the only BB client available
      • 2016-01-26 02628, 2016

      • stanislas
        Ok. I am glad.
      • 2016-01-26 02602, 2016

      • Leo_Verto
        The reason we were thinking of a userscript was that no one wanted to write an entire application :P
      • 2016-01-26 02646, 2016

      • stanislas
        I'd have no problem with writing it. I am much more advanced in desktop application writing than in html or javascriprt
      • 2016-01-26 02613, 2016

      • Leo_Verto
        I think Qt's a great choice btw
      • 2016-01-26 02645, 2016

      • stanislas
        I know also Tkinter and JavaFX, but Qt is better :)
      • 2016-01-26 02653, 2016

      • stanislas
        JavaFX has better docs
      • 2016-01-26 02657, 2016

      • Leo_Verto
        Best framework for applications running in KDE :P
      • 2016-01-26 02628, 2016

      • Leo_Verto
        Tkinter seems like a bad choice for anything that's not just a basic input form
      • 2016-01-26 02630, 2016

      • stanislas
        But JavaFX is Java and I don't like Java. I will stick with PyQt
      • 2016-01-26 02608, 2016

      • stanislas
        And I don't see Java used in any MeB projects.
      • 2016-01-26 02634, 2016

      • CallerNo6
        stanislas, the search server is java fwiw
      • 2016-01-26 02650, 2016

      • Leo_Verto
        hehe
      • 2016-01-26 02658, 2016

      • CallerNo6
        (which doesn't nullify your point)
      • 2016-01-26 02648, 2016

      • stanislas
        But I don't care really about how fast it is, it would be mostly requests that take time
      • 2016-01-26 02623, 2016

      • stanislas
        and python is simpler
      • 2016-01-26 02615, 2016

      • Leo_Verto
        well, you can make python a lot faster using a JIT compiler

        Gentlecat, so I believe that I fast-forwarded everything correctly, but now the PR has all the project page information in it, which should already be in metabrainz master..
      • 2016-01-26 02620, 2016

      • Gentlecat
        gcilou: look at the tree, see if everything is correct
      • 2016-01-26 02638, 2016

      • gcilou
        Gentlecat, everything looks fine to me
      • 2016-01-26 02623, 2016

      • gcilou
        Gentlecat, aha I fixed it, no more project files in the PR, and no more merge conflicts :)
      • 2016-01-26 02644, 2016

      • Gentlecat
        👍

      • stanislas
        Is there a plan to add covers to bb ?

        I am now planning what to do with this application. But in a couple of weeks there is an olympiad I am attending and I need to prepare for it so I will not be doing much for that time.

        I never made the USACO cutoff, however.
