well, we're planing a publicity push on this very soon. maybe just hold off on it until that is done?

Well, I think it makes sense to improve it a bit now
2017-02-22 05348, 2017

Then when people go look when we do the PR stuff, they'll see more info in the first place they'll check :p

making a neutral article is not so easy

chicken and egg problem, you need the pr push to get stuff written which can be referenced on musicbrainz :)

and seriously, an org that has a supporters list like MeB and has 40M requests per day and serves large swaths of open source project isn't notable without fucking media validation?
2017-02-22 05350, 2017
SothoTalKer
ruaok: yes.
2017-02-22 05354, 2017

bullshit.

Well, we haven't been removed, so they don't hate us :p
2017-02-22 05314, 2017

they even accept MB as an authority

reosarevok: good on being positive :P

I guess it's more "what to write about while linking to reliable sources"
2017-02-22 05326, 2017
ruaok
given that we're actually friends with Wikimedia, this is good, I suppose.

I wasn't being sarcastic...of which typically i am!

hmm. the main problem is that it's really hard to separate metabrainz from musicbrainz for a lot of the stuff, particularly historically
2017-02-22 05338, 2017
reosarevok
(yay, replication reached Feb 19. three days to go!)
2017-02-22 05304, 2017
reosarevok
Yeah, I mean for most purposes MeB is still just MB
2017-02-22 05311, 2017

like, the cake was for an invoice for musicbrainz data, cover art archive is linked to muscibrainz and covered on the musicbrainz page
2017-02-22 05312, 2017
reosarevok
At least as far as the public knows

AcousticBrainz might have some academia mentions?

I am trying to learn about each of the products as fast a possible to have an overview and start fixing some of these things for better clarity and cohesion.
CallerNo6 has magic wiki powers so he can help you with that :)

reosarevok goes the fuck to sleep, waking up in 8h and I could use a rest. Back tomorrow! Feel free to ask me stuff overnight and I'll see it when I wake up, as long as you call me by name

reosarevok: as I just made my wiki account today...I still have a ways to go. but we should think about these things moving forward perhaps--a bit of self clean up...

reosarevok thinks that's another good reason to move official docs to github, it'd be much easier to see what's left and deal with it if needed (and if not, it'd at least not look official)
