      • reosarevok
        Other than that, support and tons of editing, because people were somehow more busy than usual with my subscriptions this week :/
      • That's about it! So, LordSputnik go
      • LordSputnik
        So this week I divided my time between finishing up mentoring the BookBrainz GCI students, and working on the new entity editor.
      • We had some great GCI contributions - more documentation and also now all dates are formatted to ISO 8601 across the site
      • Freso
        🙌
      • arthelon
        😸
      • LordSputnik
        On the entity editor, I've pretty much finished making improvements to it based on Leftmost's feedback, and I'm now generalizing it a little bit to work for other entities besides Creator
      • Aiming to merge some time next week
      • fin. zas go!
      • P.S. - Freso, would you mind retweeting https://twitter.com/BookBrainz/status/821092226... apres-meeting?

      • Freso
        Man. This 1.4 release is so overdue. It'll be good to finally have it out. :)
      • zas
        I also updated blacklists, we were once again hit by useless requests

      • Freso
        Wildwatz: Go!
      • Wildwatz
        Ok. Thanks. :)
      • This week I updated some of the existing How-tos in the wiki docs and created the How-tos for merging recordings and for reporting issues. Additionally I'm creating wiki doc pages for BookBrainz and some related How-tos at the moment, because BookBrainz is very under-represented in terms of information material.
      • And I forgot to mention the "Write a review" task. :D
      • Btw: I wish all the other participants of GCI good luck for the winner selection. :)
      • Then anshuman73 go.
      • anshuman73
        I spent most of the last week working on making Metabrainz.org translatable (still working on fixing some small bugs).
      • Added two PRs for small bugs in CB.
      • The week was also filled with nostalgia as I wrote my summary while realising the fact that GCI is coming to an end.

        Spent this week wrapping up the date formatting in BB, which also involved converting all of the entity display pages to React.
      • anshuman73
        Wildwatz: thanks ! You've done awesome work with docs as well.

        Well, I fixed a few bugs.
      • Also commented on forums, ticket tracker, IRC, …
      • Freso
        :)
      • chirlu
        Fin. yvanz?
      • LordSputnik
        arthelon: well done for staying up for the meeting :D (or waking up early?)
      • chirlu
        Leo_Verto, then?
      • arthelon
        yeah I need an excuse to go out for a run anyways
      • Freso
        Alright.
      • gcilou just did GCI mentoring and thinking about what to do after GCI (more videos, documentation, graphics)
      • Freso: weave.me!
      • yvanz
        Yep
      • Oops
      • Freso
        Okay. Go.
      • :)
      • Go, go!
      • yvanz
        Opened MBS PR to add 10 sites to the whitelist of linkable other databases approved by our Style Benevolent Dictator.
      • BnF Catalogue required a bit of additional investigation for persitent IDs, thanks to loujine for his help on this.
      • By the way, thanks to GCI students who claimed any MetaBrainz task to have shown some interest in those projects.
      • fin :)
      • Freso
        👍
      • Freso: weave.me!
      • We're skipping the userscript item because CatQuest left.
      • TOPIC: MetaBrainz Community and Development channel | MusicBrainz non-development: #musicbrainz | MeB meeting agenda: weave.me (Freso), dev. sandbox/MBH-464 (Freso), 2017 summit dates (ruaok), centralised place for userscripts (GitHub?) (CatQuest & loujine)
      • So we're delaying that for another week more.
      • Anyway.
      • There have been a couple of editors that basically did nothing but add links for a bunch of artists to weave.me.
      • weave.me seems to be a site that uses Wikipedia(/Wikidata?) data to gather information about artists.
      • Apparently they have a bunch of ads (thank you uBlock Origin!).
      • chirlu
        They also don’t work on Firefox with AdBlock Plus enabled.
      • Freso
        Do we want these links at all, or should we tell them outright to stop adding links to this site?
      • Quesito
        do we want them as a supporter?
      • LordSputnik
        What sort of information is gathered from Wikipedia?
      • Freso
        I send one of them an e-mail last week telling them I was going to discuss it tonight, so they have had a chance to make their case.
      • chirlu
        To me, the question is mostly whether they provide own data.
      • Freso
        LordSputnik: Go look. I only glanced over it.
      • Quesito: I don't think they use MB data.
      • chirlu
        If it’s only things scraped from WD, MB, …, then I don’t think we should link to them.
      • Freso
        (Not that that should prevent them from becoming a supporter.)
      • (Esp. if they want us to link to them.)
      • yvanz
        Even then…
      • Quesito
        Not sure either, just could change how we talk with them....
      • Freso
        Quesito: But even if so, we might not want the links to begin with.
      • Quesito
        absolutely
      • chirlu
        As far as I could see, their URLs are based on English Wikipedia, so people who really like the display could use a userscript to get the link from existing relationships.
      • LordSputnik
        Actually it might be useful to link to them
      • Freso
        We shouldn't allow people to pay to get us to link to them. We might as well add ads to the site then.
      • LordSputnik
        They collect event data
      • chirlu
        From Bandsintown, yes.
      • No own data (as far as I could tell).
      • LordSputnik
        Hmm not that I can see either
      • adhawkins has quit
      • Freso
        So we don't want links to it at all?
      • Quick vote!
      • yvanz agrees with disapproval
      • LordSputnik
        Nay
      • Freso
        Flubz: We don't want to link to weave.me at all. (Maybe blacklist it?)
      • adhawkins joined the channel
      • chirlu
        I don’t, _unless_ they show that they have original data.
