Leo_Verto: I mean after having a solid foundation.

definitely

we discussed some possible ways of gamification over a year ago

*more than

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.

that sounds like a great idea

Leo_Verto: Not a user script

Leo_Verto: It would require only one database.

and directly use the ws, I assume?

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.

hmm, we'd have to look into how to generate oauth tokens for that

That shouldn't be a big problem, should it ? I will ask other BB contributors what they think about this idea.

No, we just haven't had to handle that yet since the site is currently the only BB client available

Ok. I am glad.

The reason we were thinking of a userscript was that no one wanted to write an entire application :P

I'd have no problem with writing it. I am much more advanced in desktop application writing than in html or javascriprt

I think Qt's a great choice btw

I know also Tkinter and JavaFX, but Qt is better :)

JavaFX has better docs

Best framework for applications running in KDE :P

Tkinter seems like a bad choice for anything that's not just a basic input form

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.

stanislas, the search server is java fwiw

hehe

(which doesn't nullify your point)

But I don't care really about how fast it is, it would be mostly requests that take time

and python is simpler

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..

gcilou: look at the tree, see if everything is correct

Gentlecat, everything looks fine to me

Gentlecat, aha I fixed it, no more project files in the PR, and no more merge conflicts :)

👍

Is there a plan to add covers to bb ?

Hey!

Hey opatel99

stanislas: What are you working on?

Hey opatel99

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.
