KEXP situation is finally improving... after major pleading proding poking picking persuading and prayer, many of their editors are improving, still 2 potential issues remain

1. There is still one editor that is problematic, it seems to me they are going to give that person more training and then another shift to see if they can improve

2. Generally it feels like editing MB is something they are being forced to do instead of want to do, which is IMO the heart of the problems we've had with them

... but as i said getting better, don't think there's any solution for #2

and i've already closed more GCI tasks than last year (but that's an indictment on me last year more than anything)

almost done my 3rd SXSW...and boy are those a lot of work...each time i say never again..but who am i fooling

oh and i think i invented a new word "Brainzsplaining" kind of like mansplaining but for MB and without the condesending attitude

It's super good to be back to the community after quite a while, school made it sort of impossible to manage everything, so I decided to take off for a bit. Considering GCI has been a really nice part of my life, I felt it would be really nice to come back as a mentor and help other students.

Last week was kinda weird, because it ended up being quite inactive for me GCI-wise, two students abandoned a task without any discussion whatsoever :/
2017-12-04 33834, 2017
naiveai
more work for me 😆
2017-12-04 33839, 2017

However, that helped, considering I had an academically busy schedule last week, with about 2-3 college applications due and shit load of examinations (which continue next week too)
2017-12-04 33847, 2017
anshuman73
Still, managed to collab with ferbncode to review a PR on CB (& GCI task) that so far looks approvable \0/ once the student gets back to it.

The first day was kind of slow, but then students started flooding into the BookBrainz task, esp. data entry ones.

MB data entry tasks are also rather popular.

Which created some tension since a couple of mentor are/were mentors on both sides and BB+MB data entry tasks were too much to keep up with.
2017-12-04 33822, 2017

Luckily I managed to convince two senior editors (drsaunde and MajorLurker) to join as mentors as well for the MB tasks, so CatQuest and Leo_Verto can focus more on the BB ones.

(And frees me up to properly administrate the org. instead of spending all the time mentoring as well.)

As I understand it, OTHER-77 is going to be debated for a bit but should not affect current goings-on in the projects as far as code goes.

Anyway, they're all reasonable ideas, so for the ones that don't have tickets already feel free to make some! (In project OTHER using "BrainzBot" category.)
