Hm. Perhaps a note to "How will you keep mentors engaged with their students?" about mentors that are not contractors (BB ones, alastairp)?
ruaok
fix as you see fit.
Freso will try to think of something, but leaves for now
Freso
It looked good, but still did a couple of minor tweaks. I also asked them if it's okay to link to Discourse for the mailing list field, just to be safe.

Freso: talk about the strength of the community, and about how MB has volunteers that work on editing and coding for no payment
and that the non-contractor mentors have a history in the community

On ListenBrainz, Why do we have bookmarklet that runs js to import the listens rather than having some python code server-side using the last.fm API?
ruaok
the last.fm API is broken and they seem to not be issuing API keys anylonger.

Freso
alastairp: Good points. Thank you.
kepstin
the last.fm api for scrobble history still mostly works, and they *are* issue api keys now :/
but that said, using client-side js is still probably a decent idea, to work around ip-based rate limits :)
I think that one looks fine, let's see what others think :)
Freso
I'm not sure I like the question mark. :/
gcilou
ok
reosarevok
Freso: do you have any good ideas on how to specify "artist without set type" so it's not like "person" though? :/ I don't really know what other thing to use
johtso joined the channel
Freso
reosarevok: Not really. My best idea was the "hollow" person.
(So it'd kind of advance through hollow person → person → group → choir.)
gcilou
I'm not sure a hollow person is very intuitive for artist though..
[I think I phrased it generally...too generally perhaps...]
Freso
:)
chrisskye
oops
dufferzafar
alastairp: Last.fm has MBID associated with some of its entities so we would've got those too if we were using the API
alastairp
yes, this is a limitation that we were aware of when we made our decision
but the fact was, there were /no/ api signups the weekend that we wrote this
Freso
dufferzafar: PRs welcome. ;)
dufferzafar
do you think it makes sense to have python based one now?
Freso
Was it kepstin who was already poking at something like this?
alastairp
yes
Freso
I think someone was already poking at a local client to convert Last.FM via API to LB.
dufferzafar
there's already a lot of code around the web that imports last.fm history & does stuff with it
so having a working version wouldn't be all that hard
alastairp
especially for the mbids, and more accurate timestamps
Freso
^
dufferzafar
(code & development wise)
kepstin
I was gonna poke at it, but haven't had time (like usual)
alastairp
Freso: jonty has an api shim
Freso would love to wipe his LB history and re-import via API.
but that's for write, not read
dufferzafar
okay then, let me setup LB on my machine
and i'll give it a shot :)
kepstin
I'd switch to lb if we have 2 things - an last.fm-compatible (should also work with libre.fm) importer, and a scrobble-api compatible submit shim
importer that pulls mbids*
Freso
^
dufferzafar
what's a shim?
kartikgupta0909
alastairp: Do you have a minute right now?
alastairp
I also want it to be a little more developed in the backend :D
kartikgupta0909: sorry, this weekend hasn't been good for doing stuff
kepstin
and by "switch" i mean scrobble in parallel to it alongside other services :)
alastairp
I'll respond to your email this evening, but I don't really have time to talk now
Freso
Well, I don't really care about scrobble API, as long as I can submit to LB and Last.FM both, until LB leaves "beta" stage and it promises to not do a full db wipe. :)
