      • CatQuest
        anyway i would Love such an idea
      • naiveai
        I'll do some research on existing query languages.
      • Freso
        But yeah, LinkedB seems to have used SPARQL.
      • Leo_Verto
        yvanzo: great idea!
      • Freso
        naiveai: Would it work against a local database? Or how do you envision it working?
      • CatQuest
        esp if the !query language" or whatever was documented "for dummies" like
      • so a dummie lie kme could learn it :D
      • naiveai
        Freso: It would require some messing around with musicbrainz-ngs to allow some broader expansions
      • I think it should work against both a local db and the real MusicBrainz server
      • CatQuest
        or maybe a readonly slave if possible
      • ?
      • Freso
        naiveai: I think allowing raw queries against the live, public MB servers is a Bad Idea™, regardless of whether we use SPARQL, SQL, or some other QL.
      • naiveai
        Freso: which is why they won't be raw
      • CatQuest
        yes
      • Leo_Verto
        naiveai: a website might be more accessible than a cli, is there any reason you came up with the latter?
      • ah, local db is a good idea
      • naiveai
        Freso: well, I just like CLIs :D but you're right about the website
      • Freso
        I miss the reports.mbsandbox.org "site". :/
      • naiveai: *Leo_Verto :)
      • naiveai
        we could make it a UI which would be easier to learn
      • Freso
        naiveai: Sounds like you want to create something like LinkedBrainz... :)
      • naiveai
        ok, I think that's it. I was just looking for some validation on the idea, will research in depth and come back to it later/in a future meeting
      • Ashish
        I think improving UI is better
      • CatQuest
        me too freso
      • Freso
        Ashish: Improving UI won't allow more complex queries to be made.
      • Leo_Verto
        LinkedBrainz but actually working :P
      • Freso
        naiveai: Right on.
      • naiveai: BrainzBot voting
      • Ashish
        oh actually
      • naiveai
        Pretty short one again
      • TOPIC: MetaBrainz Community and Development channel | MusicBrainz non-development: #musicbrainz | GSoC https://goo.gl/7jsjG2 | GCI https://goo.gl/8xSZem | Meeting agenda:
      • yvanzo
        naiveai: check summit 17 discussions, there were some ideas close by.
      • naiveai
        Just wanted to bring this to the attention of anyone who hasn't seen this
      • OTHER-321 is a a little vote plugin I'm working on currently
      • BrainzBot
        OTHER-321: Brainzbot Plugin for Counting Votes. https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/OTHER-321
      • naiveai
        I've got the basic functionality pretty much down right now
      • The current syntax has examples in this gist: https://gist.github.com/naiveaiguy/ce79a2e2eecc...
      • Freso, Leo_Verto, and CatQuest have already had some pretty extensive discussions on this matter
      • and I believe they mostly like the syntax?
      • either way I was looking for wider community input
      • Freso
        I'd ask people to redirect input/feedback to the OTHER-321 ticket. :)
      • CatQuest
        +1
      • Freso
        Otherwise we can bikeshed here in the meeting for the next 20 hours. :)
      • naiveai
        oh yes, of course
      • sorry :P
      • then that's it
      • CatQuest
        chhavi_ also had some good design feedback on that
      • Freso
        No worries. Thanks for bringing it up. :)
      • Ashish: You sai "oh actually". Do you have more agenda items you'd like to discuss tonight?
      • If not, I'd like to conclude the meeting.
      • TOPIC: MetaBrainz Community and Development channel | MusicBrainz non-development: #musicbrainz | GSoC https://goo.gl/7jsjG2 | GCI https://goo.gl/8xSZem | Meeting agenda: Reviews
      • Ashish
        No practically I just thought of that if
      • Freso
        Ashish: Not sure I understand you.
      • Ashish
        music brainz UI can be made similar to BookBrainz UI it would be better to understand thinks
      • I agree that complex entries wont be made
      • CatQuest would prefer the other way aroundacshully :D
      • Freso
        Ah, could be. I think that's part of a wider discussion though. Look at Design tickets on jira.
      • CatQuest
        but yes
      • naiveai
        yeah, MusicBrainz is much older than the other projects, so it's looks are kind of dated
      • Freso
        Definitely not something we can tackle at tonight's meeting. :)
      • So with that, thank you all for your time and thoughts!
      • CatQuest
        naiveai: you forget that majority of users are older thoguh ;)
      • Freso
        Have a good week!
      • </BANG>
      • Ashish
        yes fine
      • CatQuest
        yay!
      • haruute
        yea!
      • Ashish
        Good Bye
      • CatQuest
        bye!
      • what was the thing about sigyn and oping before the meeting?
      • false positives?
      • Freso
        CatQuest: If Sigyn is in here, I risk getting KILL or KLINED for mass-pinging people.
      • yeah.
      • CatQuest
        aha
      • samj1912
        lol :P
      • CatQuest
        oh no, waht is worse!
      • Leo_Verto
        naiveai: I see you've claimed "Write a useful plugin for BrainzBot" so technically you have to either finish the voting plugin within two days or come up with a simpler one in that time :P
      • CatQuest
        klined!
      • Freso
        So I KICKed her prior to pinging people. I just invited her back, but it needs to wait for staff approval before she'll get back here.
      • I'm heading out now though, so hopefully she'll get here before any spammers. :)
      • CatQuest
        yep, het it
      • get*
      • hmm is it possible to put yo uon a "ignore masspinging for mthis person" list?
      • Freso
        Leo_Verto: I told him as much earlier. :)
      • CatQuest: Possibly. It's easier to just KICK and re-INVITE her though.
      • Not like she's needed much during the meeting with several channel ops hanging out.
      • CatQuest
        that's true
      • if something happens ya'll be here right on it
      • Freso off
      • Freso
        *out
      • CatQuest
        ?
      • around?
      • CatQuest is being silly, sorry :D
      • aahh
      • CatQuest is still kind of hyped about gci and it's ending soon
      • Ashish has left the channel
      • naiveai

      • jan 31 - winners announced

      • naiveai
        lol
      • reosarevok
        Freso: do not choose naiveai. He's tryharding.
      • Leo_Verto
        can we chose someone with 0 completed tasks as the winner? 🤔
      • samj1912
        Leo_Verto: it needs to be someone in the top 10 :P
      • CatQuest
        reosarevok: hangouts

      • >looks up tryharding on urbandictionary
      • >"Try hard is a word used to call people who are trying so hard to get as many girls as he can."
      • >wat
      • CatQuest
        og urbandictionary
      • Leo_Verto
        are mentors eligible to be GCI winners?
      • CatQuest
        always about the sex
      • reosarevok
        Leo_Verto: not you
      • CatQuest
        Leo_Verto:
      • reosarevok
        naiveai: :D that's new
      • naiveai
        but seriously I genuinely don't know what tryharding means :P
      • CatQuest
        i thought it was like "trying too hard and that's uncool so hipsetrs basiclaly"
      • naiveai
        ah that makes sense
      • samj1912
        iliekcomputers: how was your bangkok trip
      • samj1912 thinking about going there with his friends
      • CatQuest
        hmm going to indonesia to a indian is like norwegian going to spain for vacation, isn't it? :D
      • Zastai joined the channel
      • naiveai
        oh, the correct urbandictionary definition appears to be under "try-hard"
      • CatQuest: kind of, but without the Schengen
      • iliekcomputers
        CatQuest: Bangkok is in thailand
      • samj1912: we spent a bunch of time in phuket, it was pretty great!
      • Definitely recommend phuket, Bangkok is your standard metropolitan city tbh
      • CatQuest
        oh right of course it is.. sorry i am dumb and need to eat
      • i thought iliekcomputers said "indonesia"
      • so i gambled about names of cities.. and lost
      • naiveai
        !remember Leo_Verto=though naiveai built his json by hand
      • BrainzBot
        I will remember "Leo_Verto" for you naiveai.
      • CatQuest
        uff da
      • it wasn't meant like that
      • I mean, I'd probably do something like that so :D
      • (build json by hand)
      • naiveai
        CatQuest: I know that, I'm referring to Leo_Verto, not reosarevok
      • CatQuest
        yes so am I?
      • naiveai
        oh, ok I thought you misunderstood but it turns out I misunderstood your understanding, I thought you misunderstood but you understood
      • CatQuest
        yo dawg
      • naiveai
        U N D E R S T O O D
      • CatQuest
