Alright. :)

yes, but that is generally a tough issue.

because what if money flows into the wrong hands because of bad data in MB?
2016-03-16 07640, 2016
ruaok
what if people start wrangling the data in MB because it is used to determine payments?

I'd love to have a more detailed conversation with this person, but it will take some of my time do that.
2016-03-16 07645, 2016
Freso
Sure. And I know it's not an easy thing, but I'd felt better you participating on that forum conversation, than me doing it, since pretty much all I know about it I've gleaned from writings (or conversations etc.) from you.
2016-03-16 07616, 2016
ruaok
understood. this is starting to get into the nuanced guts of the industry. :)
chirlu: looks ok. one bit of blogging etiquette I would like us to follow: If we amend a blog post (not to fix my usual crap typos), but make content changes, we should add a UPDATED: section at the bottom.

UPDATED: Added a paragraph about supported Ubuntu versions.
2016-03-16 07617, 2016

would be great if you could please add that.
2016-03-16 07618, 2016

Well, I did? Not UPDATED, though.

Is it too inconspicuous? :-)

ah, sorry, I didn't see that, the italics threw me off and I thought that was trailer guff already.
2016-03-16 07637, 2016

that works. :)

If I'm making lists of tags of releases and release groups, does it make sense to combine them all together within a releasegroup?
2016-03-16 07633, 2016
alastairp
consider that the end goal is to only select tags that look like genres
2016-03-16 07643, 2016
alastairp
so things like 'reissue' won't be a problem
2016-03-16 07615, 2016
Freso
alastairp: hat would be the goal of combining them together?
2016-03-16 07616, 2016
alastairp
e.g. if an RG has 2 releases, and the rg and each release has distinct tags, merge them together
2016-03-16 07623, 2016
alastairp
to get more data
2016-03-16 07645, 2016
chrisskye
ruaok: thanks for the adds into the pipeline; works like a charm
2016-03-16 07651, 2016
alastairp
e.g., if we have a recording on release 'a' in AB, but no tags for it, but we have tags on release `b`, which is in the same RG
2016-03-16 07603, 2016
alastairp
should we consider the tags?
2016-03-16 07606, 2016
ruaok
chrisskye: great. I have a few more to punt over later.
2016-03-16 07611, 2016
Freso
Wouldn't that become less data? (Ie., you don't have data that the tag was used on two different releases, but only that it's included somewhere within an RG.)
2016-03-16 07636, 2016
alastairp
the data would potentially become less "accurate"
2016-03-16 07640, 2016
alastairp
if that's what you mean
2016-03-16 07612, 2016

ruaok: I changed all the headers...I think they make general sense for what we’re trying to keep track of, but suggestions welcome
2016-03-16 07639, 2016
Freso
Ah. I think it's fine to take RG-level tags and consider them for all R's, but I wouldn't take one R-level tag and consider it for all Rs ithin the RG.
2016-03-16 07650, 2016
ruaok
chrisskye: seemed ok to me.
2016-03-16 07657, 2016
Freso
But maybe that is still fine.
2016-03-16 07615, 2016
Freso
The edge cases where it would cause an issue are probably extremely far between.
2016-03-16 07640, 2016
Freso
I can't think of any (real or thought up) scenario where it wouldn't be applicable.
2016-03-16 07647, 2016
Freso
So go for it, probably.
2016-03-16 07609, 2016
alastairp
right, this is why I added the caveat that the tags we're going to be considering are only genre tags
2016-03-16 07618, 2016
Freso
Yeah, but even then.
2016-03-16 07632, 2016
alastairp
so, while I agree that there are edgecase tags that could be weird, I don't think genres are as bad
2016-03-16 07636, 2016
Freso
Maybe one release has a bonus CD with death metal remixes of an pop-reggae album.
2016-03-16 07644, 2016
alastairp
perhaps old cd1/cd2 style releases
2016-03-16 07645, 2016
alastairp
yeah, that
2016-03-16 07620, 2016
ruaok
you ever get that moment, where you're sitting at your desk, listening to music and then you think "I should put on some music?"?
2016-03-16 07620, 2016
alastairp
I'll see what the number say. my gut feel is that this is small enough to not be an issue
2016-03-16 07626, 2016
Freso
(If anyone knows of a specific case of that, I would love to give it a listen. Really.)
2016-03-16 07629, 2016
Freso
alastairp: Yeah.

At least, that's what I thought was agreed upon. But some or all of you have been creating non-year-specific pages, i.e. wiki/Summer_of_Code/<sub-project>

Gentlecat, sure. So e.g. gsoc/2016/<project> could redirect to the last relevant edit of gsoc/<project>
