Actually I might even link to both Sponsors *and* Supporters down there, but without giving names on the footer proper
Freso
Perhaps "Brought to you by [MetaBrainz Foundation] and [all our sponsors]. Cover art by …"

That sounds good to me
dr_saunde has quit
Freso
Then we just need ruaok and/or chrisskye to sign off on it. :)
ruaok
I really think that there is a lot of really important information hidden in the footer.
we should really review that in greater detail and highlight sister projects from mb.org
Freso
I don't disagree, but at our current format, we really don't want to cram too much text down there.
chrisskye
I think it is REALLY important that links to the MetaBrainz site are present/clear and accessible.
It bothers me that MusicBrainz graphically appears so distinct from the parent...
Freso
chrisskye: Depending on how you look at it, MB is the parent of MeB :)
ruaok
Freso: exactly. most of that text should leave the footer and be moved elsewhere.
Freso: what chrisskye said.
exactly that and a helping on top of that.
chrisskye
It is important that people get popped to the supporters page...
ruaok smiles in the direction of gràcia
...from what I’ve seen of the business side...MetaBrainz is the parent.
...MetaBrainz is where the support flows to keep the projects going...
ruaok
yep. MetaBrainz is the legal entity. everything else is a project.
chrisskye
It might seem like MusicBrainz gave birth to others...but really it is the baby that got adopted...and moved in with a new family
ruaok
... in 2004.
reosarevok
ruaok: so, basically, what I'm hearing is it's ok to link to MeB on the footer for now, and that we should find even more and better places to connect the two later?
(speaking of, what's the plan re:graphics now that MonkeyDo made that first draft thing?)
ruaok
you took words out of my mouth there.
we have a branch with his changes pending.
and it is ready for one of us to take it over.
not sure who would be most suited for that.
reosarevok
Gentlecat, probably?
Freso
reosarevok: Perhaps "Brought to you be [MetaBrainz Foundation] and our [sponsors] and [supporters]. Cover art provided by [CAA]."
reosarevok
I mean he is more used to the style than I am for sure, or bitmap
Since he's used it elsewhere
Freso: me likey
Will send PR
Freso
It's a tad too long for my liking, but eh.
reosarevok: You saw the ticket, right? :)
reosarevok
Somewhat relatedly, why do we have layout.tt and layout/components/Footer.js that both have the same text?
Yes, I'm in the branch already :p
Freso
:)
ruaok
my take on this stuff is to proceed as you see fit for now.
next step will be to take monkey's work and get it out the door.
