Actually I might even link to both Sponsors *and* Supporters down there, but without giving names on the footer proper

Perhaps "Brought to you by [MetaBrainz Foundation] and [all our sponsors]. Cover art by …"

Then we just need ruaok and/or chrisskye to sign off on it. :)

I really think that there is a lot of really important information hidden in the footer.
2016-02-04 03538, 2016
ruaok
we should really review that in greater detail and highlight sister projects from mb.org
2016-02-04 03535, 2016
Freso
I don't disagree, but at our current format, we really don't want to cram too much text down there.

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...
2016-02-04 03523, 2016

chrisskye: Depending on how you look at it, MB is the parent of MeB :)
2016-02-04 03524, 2016

Freso: exactly. most of that text should leave the footer and be moved elsewhere.
2016-02-04 03548, 2016
ruaok
Freso: what chrisskye said.
2016-02-04 03556, 2016
ruaok
exactly that and a helping on top of that.
2016-02-04 03556, 2016

It is important that people get popped to the supporters page...

...from what I’ve seen of the business side...MetaBrainz is the parent.
2016-02-04 03513, 2016
chrisskye
...MetaBrainz is where the support flows to keep the projects going...
2016-02-04 03521, 2016
ruaok
yep. MetaBrainz is the legal entity. everything else is a project.

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

... in 2004.

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?)

you took words out of my mouth there.
2016-02-04 03556, 2016

we have a branch with his changes pending.
2016-02-04 03505, 2016
ruaok
and it is ready for one of us to take it over.
2016-02-04 03515, 2016

not sure who would be most suited for that.

Gentlecat, probably?

reosarevok: Perhaps "Brought to you be [MetaBrainz Foundation] and our [sponsors] and [supporters]. Cover art provided by [CAA]."

I mean he is more used to the style than I am for sure, or bitmap
2016-02-04 03547, 2016

Since he's used it elsewhere

Somewhat relatedly, why do we have layout.tt and layout/components/Footer.js that both have the same text?
2016-02-04 03504, 2016
reosarevok
Yes, I'm in the branch already :p

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.
