        Leo_Verto: I mean after having a solid foundation.
      • Leo_Verto
        definitely
      • we discussed some possible ways of gamification over a year ago

      • stanislas
        ruaok: Thank you very much. You've pretty much anwered my questions :)
      • 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.
      • Leo_Verto
        that sounds like a great idea
      • stanislas
        Leo_Verto: Not a user script
      • Leo_Verto: It would require only one database.
      • Leo_Verto
        and directly use the ws, I assume?
      • stanislas
        yes
      • I even know how to do that.
      • I've been working with it for like 2 or 3 weeks.
      • It would made identifiers also more usable.
      • And if you want some library to be added you would just write the code that regards it and not the whole user script.
      • Leo_Verto
        hmm, we'd have to look into how to generate oauth tokens for that
      • stanislas
        That shouldn't be a big problem, should it ? I will ask other BB contributors what they think about this idea.
      • Leo_Verto
        No, we just haven't had to handle that yet since the site is currently the only BB client available
      • stanislas
        Ok. I am glad.
      • Leo_Verto
        The reason we were thinking of a userscript was that no one wanted to write an entire application :P
      • stanislas
        I'd have no problem with writing it. I am much more advanced in desktop application writing than in html or javascriprt
      • Leo_Verto
        I think Qt's a great choice btw
      • stanislas
        I know also Tkinter and JavaFX, but Qt is better :)
      • JavaFX has better docs
      • Leo_Verto
        Best framework for applications running in KDE :P
      • Tkinter seems like a bad choice for anything that's not just a basic input form
      • stanislas
        But JavaFX is Java and I don't like Java. I will stick with PyQt
      • And I don't see Java used in any MeB projects.
      • CallerNo6
        stanislas, the search server is java fwiw
      • Leo_Verto
        hehe
      • CallerNo6
        (which doesn't nullify your point)
      • stanislas
        But I don't care really about how fast it is, it would be mostly requests that take time
      • and python is simpler
      • 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..
      • Gentlecat
        gcilou: look at the tree, see if everything is correct
      • gcilou
        Gentlecat, everything looks fine to me
      • Gentlecat, aha I fixed it, no more project files in the PR, and no more merge conflicts :)
      • Gentlecat
        👍
      • stanislas
        Is there a plan to add covers to bb ?

        Hey!

        Hey opatel99
      • stanislas
        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.
      • optatel99: Do you participate in USACO ?

        stanislas: Yes. I also was on the training team for USAMO and USAPhO
      • I never made the USACO cutoff, however.
