        No word from chirlu... I'll poke LordSputnik to go next instead then.
      • CatQuest: "wave"
      • LordSputnik
        "The Zvooq Investigation" sounds quite awesome
      • SothoTalKer
        the zvooq stuff sounds ugly :x
      • chirlu
        I didn’t get around to do much last week. Perhaps I’ll be able to finish some minor things before freeze today, though. Fin.
      • CatQuest
        sounds lie ka some sort of movie

      • ahh yes
      • LordSputnik
        Last week I worked mostly on the new entity editor, finishing off stuff
      • It's pretty much ready to go now, and I'm just doing some minor cleanup at the moment
      • CatQuest can't wait to test :D
      • It's fairly urgent that we merge it, since there are 5 PRs queued up behind it
      • Also looked at arthelon's work on adding Flow type annotation support to BookBrainz, which is coming along really nicely
      • But needs our code to be converted to use ES6 modules to avoid issues with us having 'use strict' everywhere
      • Leftmost
        LordSputnik, I didn't get a chance to look at that last night, but I hope to be able to tonight.
      • anshuman73
        Leo_Verto: 404 on your first link

        mayhem, quick questions about translating meb.org: Translate Unicorn? Customer siezen?
      • anshuman73
        This week I did only Minor Bug fixes on BB, CB and MeB. Also added a small sidebar feature to MBS.
      • Mostly busy due to school work and exams, which reminds me; I will most probably be off for a while from now on, and come back in April end when I'm done with exams.
      • Will try my best to finish off MEB-65 and AB-293 before I go off.
      • BrainzBot
        MEB-65: Make UI for switching between languages/locales https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MEB-65
      • AB-293: Misleading exit status for files without MBIDs https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/AB-293

      • alastairp
        last week I've been reviewing a bunch of backlog in AB, and some stuff from LB. I taught a class based around AB and set some homework, who knows what the results will bring.

      • CatQuest
        !
      • this week I've lent books from the library to read about as much as I can about all the different long-necked lutes and how they relate \o/
      • I also wanted to apologise for last time dropping out - I really do care about what everyone else is writing, it's always fun to hear about all the progress people make on mb, especially during gci :)
      • as always, please help with moving instrument-recording rels from https://beta.musicbrainz.org/instrument/b936249... to https://beta.musicbrainz.org/instrument/a19ae15... if you can :)
      • det e bærre lekkert
      • zas?
      • reosarevok
        alastairp: oooh, MeB stuff is educational now! Nice ;)
      • LordSputnik
        Leftmost: the only thing I'm planning to change now in that PR is to add component comments, but that can be done after merging if it's ready before I've written them
      • zas
        prepared Picard release
      • Freso
        (Still up: bitmap-if-he-wakes-up armalcolite? Wildwatz – anyone else?)
      • armalcolite
        not much of a review from my side. Just finished with the last bits of GCI. And possible will try to go through some of the LB stuff.
      • LordSputnik
        CatQuest: nice work :)
      • CatQuest
        :D
      • Freso doesn't think bitmap will wake up on time
      • zas
        reviewed/merge last PRs, called for testers/translators/ etc
      • configured new server williams
      • Freso
        zas: Should we make a blog post?
      • Re: Picard.
      • SothoTalKer
        sleeping sounds like a good way to avoid the weekly meeting reviews ;)
      • CatQuest thinks so
      • zas
        We'll do on release
      • I guess 1.4.1 will follow quite soon
      • Freso
        zas: I was thinking for calling on translators etc., but sure. :)
      • CatQuest
        lots of work being done on this release. it's pretty great :D
      • zas
        I think it needs more audience, but since we'll release next week
      • CatQuest
        wo had been working on transifex merging etc
      • Freso is really happy to finally have a new Picard release out after more than 2 years of "silence" :)
      • zas
        i also fixed a stupid issue on babar/ssl/LE ;)
      • who's left?
      • Gentlecat
        now we just need a new release for the MB android app
      • CatQuest
        Wildwatz:
      • Wildwatz
        Ok. :)
      • Unfortunately I wasn't able to do much last week because of school exams, but I'll try to do some more work this week. Especially the new MetaBrainz transifex project cries after some german translations. ;) Other than that I might need some help for the Picard documentary issues, because I don't exactly know what needs to be documented for some parts.
      • Fin. I think now is general discussion.
      • Freso
        bitmap is still not up?
      • CatQuest
        unles bitmap wakes up
      • Freso
        I guess bitmap can have his review if he wakes up...
      • samj1912
        Wildwatz: you can ping me anytime for picard related stuff :)
      • Freso
        CatQuest & loujine, centralised userscript place
      • TOPIC: MetaBrainz Community and Development channel | MusicBrainz non-development: #musicbrainz | MeB meeting agenda: centralised place for userscripts (GitHub?) (CatQuest & loujine), 2017 summit dates (ruaok), dev. sandbox/MBH-464 (Freso), deprecating HTTP Digest auth (MBS-9207) (chirlu), actually totally really going HTTPS (chirlu), adding CONTRIBUTING.md (samj1912)
      • CatQuest
        ok
      • Wildwatz
        samj1912: Ok. I'll remind that. ^^
      • CatQuest
        so i've had this in my blup for 3 weeks: just gonan paste it
      • loujine is here
      • while trying to find that userscript earlier I though of this: why can't we have a musicbrainz.userscripts thingy on github?bitbucket?, and then actually upload everything, then when people make changes to their userscripts, they can PR/pull/whatever those fixes.
      • like an official userscripts depository with a stationary url so we can point to one place and that's where it is.
      • it could have folders, like "importers", "editing addition" (for scripts in the editing interface) "web interface" (for things that work on search and viewing like bitmap see inside RG and releases tracks)
      • loujine suggested maybe a repo linking to subrepos.
      • I think also CallerNo6 will agree with me that it's basically it's a serious pita to find anything like this (having found various links but things are "bleh") (https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/External_Resources...)
      • having a centralised place would really benefit us, I can think of very few reasons not to, and I also think the majority of userscript-editors will be ok with it. it would also be really idea because if ever a script is abandoned by its writer, someone else could fork it and continue.
      • I also volunteer to chase down people and ask them to upload it to the repo/permission to upload it in their stead. 🙋
      • zas
        +1
      • LordSputnik
        Sounds useful to me
      • Freso
        I think murdos' repository is kind of the de facto one right now.
      • zas
      • Freso
        Thanks zas :)
      • LordSputnik
        (although it might be easier just to have a flat repository and the userscripts listed alphabetically in the root)
      • chirlu
        The question is whether the userscript authors want to participate, I guess.
      • CatQuest
        there's a lot of uerscritps not ther tho
      • SothoTalKer
        but he has only 'his' scripts
      • CatQuest
        yea that's not a bad idea wither
      • Freso
        SothoTalKer: No.
      • zas
        it may help to reduce code redundancy, and duplicated userscripts
      • SothoTalKer
        mostly importing scripts. all the stuff from jesus2099 is missing.
      • Freso
        SothoTalKer: Several of the scripts aren't murdos', and several of the scripts have more or less been taken over by not-murdos.
      • CatQuest
        it might be that's what peopel think about mineo's place
      • CatQuest agrees with zas
      • CallerNo6 agrees that there should be only one wiki page listing userscripts. whether they need to be in one repo is up to the authors.
      • also ot prevent stuff like https://xkcd.com/927/
      • loujine
        jesus2099 and I discussed about merging some common code, having a common repo would help for that
      • Leo_Verto
        +1 for an official userscript repo, that would also make it easier to contribute
      • Quesito
        <3 efficiency +1
      • SothoTalKer
      • Freso
        I think a MB-centric userscripts.org like place might be better, rather than forcing all authors to give write access to each others' scripts.
      • CatQuest
        exactly
      • Freso
        But if all the userscript authors can find common ground, then I will not oppose that at all. :)
      • CatQuest
        the idea i had that if it was "mb cetric" it woudl be easier becasue it woudl be "common and neutral" ground
      • zas
        We can use git submodules if people want to keep control
      • Gentlecat
        are you talking about a repo or a new website for userscripts?
      • Freso
        Gentlecat: Yes.
      • Gentlecat
        which one?
      • CatQuest
        this is freso
      • Freso
        Both/either/undecided.
      • Gentlecat
        I don't think former is a good idea
      • Leo_Verto
        a github repo with buttons in the readme to add the scripts directly should work
      • mayhem
        hosting more stuff bugs me, honestly.
      • mihaitish joined the channel
      • CatQuest
        doesnt github hoste it tho?
      • Freso
        mayhem: MeB doesn't have to host more stuff.
      • mayhem
        I'd prefer to see the MB section at userscripts approach.
      • Gentlecat
        and building and maintaining
      • mayhem
        where would the web site be at?
      • CatQuest
        github?
      • Freso
        mayhem: github.io?
      • Gentlecat
        a repo on github should be fine, that's how I download my scripts anyway
      • Freso
        This would be a community resource, not an official MetaBrainz one.
      • Gentlecat
        "Raw" -> Add
      • loujine
        github looks fine to me (or bb)
      • CatQuest
        my (admittedly limited) understanding of how github works sggests this
      • Freso
        The userscripts aren't official MetaBrainz resources anyway.
      • SothoTalKer
        but a centralized place would be really really nice, indeed
      • zas
        Gentlecat: jesus2099 has a nice install userscript userscript ... ;)
      • dboys_ has quit
      • reosarevok
        Yeah, even our wiki page about scripts still has some dead links to userscripts.org
      • mayhem
        gonna be fun managing the licenses on this. I'll keep my eyes peeled to see if that happens acceptably.
      • CatQuest
        yes
      • Gentlecat
        zas: git a link?
      • *got
      • CatQuest
        hehe
      • reosarevok
        If we can get as many of those as possible in one place, that'd be nice
      • CatQuest
        I can be.. persistent and very very patient :)
      • mayhem
        no arguments against one place.
      • reosarevok
        If someone doesn't want to put them in the same place, their link can always be added to a readme.md file or something
      • I guess
