        Bit of mbs PRs.
      • Spent most of the week travelling
      • samj1912 is in Bangkok currently
      • Also, I will probably be moving to London in August :D
      • That's it for me.
      • CatQuest
        :O wow permanently
      • ?
      • samj1912
        reosarevok, next
      • CatQuest
        pong reosarevok
      • samj1912
        CatQuest: probably :p
      • Freso
        reosarevok hasn't said anything, let's go with kartikeyaSh_ircc instead for now.
      • CatQuest
        samj1912: :O :D
      • kartikeyaSh_ircc
        hi
      • reosarevok
        Sorry, I'm back, I'll take after kartikeyaSh_ircc
      • kartikeyaSh_ircc
        This week I worked on my proposal and modified it according to the suggestions from ruaok
      • CatQuest
        i've got one sentence after reosarevok
      • Freso
        (Also, almost half the meeting is over. Let's try and do reviews a bit speedily. :))
      • kartikeyaSh_ircc
        Now I've added examples from the data dump available, added stats to show how much the algorithms will accomplish. And now I got some questions from alastairp which i'll try to answer ASAP.
      • that's it for me.
      • CatQuest
        πŸ‘
      • kartikeyaSh_ircc
        reosarevok: go ahead
      • ruaok
        kartikeyaSh_ircc: looking much improved!
      • reosarevok
        Hi! And sorry, I missed the time
      • So, I did the usual support
      • Then I added the instruments bit, CatQuest already mentioned that though :)
      • And I'm doing a bit of code, but nothing on that unless it works out :)
      • CatQuest: your sentence?
      • CatQuest
        [18:39] <alastairp> if anyone wants to copypasta my status: "Reviewd rsh7 and kartikeyaSh_ircc's proposals"
      • just that
      • heyoni has quit
      • Freso
        LordSputnik: Go.
      • LordSputnik
        Woo!
      • Ok
      • So this week I reviewed the three BookBrainz proposals for GSoC
      • manofcode[m]
        Hey everyone!!
      • This was was a bit stressfull and fun too.
      • I worked on understanding MB codebase for importing ratings. Then I posted my initial draft of the proposal. The weekend was wholly-owned by the hackathon organized here, then today I finished up with the final draft of my SoC proposal after iliekcomputers[m] suggestions.
      • Oops, thought it was my turn...
      • LordSputnik
        Haha
      • Sophist-UK joined the channel
      • I thought they were all pretty good so far, so I'm looking forward to seeing the final submissions
      • Also chatted with bukwurm quite a bit on IRC
      • And talked with OpenLibrary about using their data in BookBrainz
      • fin.
      • Freso
        (People up: akhilesh_, vishichoudhary, rsh7 β€” anyone else who want to go, please let me know explicitly.)

      • akhilesh_
        Hi.. everyone!
      • This week I worked on adding a table with total entity count on the statistics page.
      • @LordSputnik, updated statistics page looks like
      • Working on the proposal for final submission.
      • That's all!
      • vishichoudhary: go
      • vishichoudhary
        Thanku akhilesh,
      • Hi everyone,

      • rsh7
        I have worked on improvements and new additions to my GSoC proposal this week and today I will work more on it according to the feedback by alastairp for the final submission tomorrow.
      • Thank you for the review alastairp! :)
      • I have also started working on a feature which will allow the users to download the entire dataset of any other user in a single click.
      • that's it from my side
      • fin!
      • Freso
        Alright
      • iliekcomputers: CB ideas feedback!
      • iliekcomputers
        so hey
      • CatQuest
        \o
      • ferbncode
        we met and discussed ideas for increasing reviews on CB:
      • iliekcomputers
        we've come up with some ideas that are basically focussed on increasing user engagement with the site
      • ruaok
        \ΓΈ/
      • iliekcomputers
        like stuff like comments on reviews, following other people, community picks etc.
      • We were hoping for feedback on our ideas from the community
      • CatQuest
        comments on reviews, πŸ‘
      • iliekcomputers
        so if you get the chance, read the ideas and give us your opinions! thanks!
      • Freso: that should be it for this topic
      • Freso
        Thanks!
      • bitmap: Support browsers update!
      • bitmap
        hi again
      • CatQuest
        oh no
      • bitmap
        it's been 6 months since we last updated our supported browsers list, so I checked the stats again
      • CatQuest
        πŸ™€
      • bitmap
        not much has changed from https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Development/Suppor... but here are the results:
      • safari stays at 9.0
      • chrome jumps from 44 -> 49
      • edge stays at 14
      • ie stays at 11
      • firefox jumps from 44 -> 52
      • CatQuest
        neeeei
      • Freso
        Is FF 52 the current LTS version?
      • bitmap
        the highest version of opera in the list is 50.0 (at 0.22%) which should theoretically be covered by chrome, since they use chrome and follow their versioning
      • Freso
        (I think that's why we kept FF 44 last time.)
      • yvanzo
        Freso: Yes.
      • ESR is 52 now
      • bitmap
        so I wonder if we should drop opera or not since it's already probably covered and doesn't meet our 0.5% threshold
      • CatQuest
        well I know f.ex jesus uses opera
      • Freso
        How about we drop it for now, and tell jesus2099 to let us know if things break badly and we can consider putting it back on on its own?
      • CatQuest
        same with ff44? Q_Q?? πŸ™‡
      • Freso
        (Or make a note on the "supported browsers" list that Opera and Chrome should be the same, but Opera users should let us know if Opera behaves much differently from Chrome?)
      • yvanzo
        +1
      • bitmap
        yes, that sounds fine
      • CatQuest
        πŸ™‡
      • Freso
        Alright.
      • Motion carried then?
      • CatQuest isn't happy :(
      • CatQuest: Sorry. :/
      • CatQuest
        can't you do the same with ff44?
      • "let us know if things break badly and we can consider putting it back on on its own?"
      • Leo_Verto
        the web designer inside me is happy
      • CatQuest
        ¬¬
      • Freso
        CatQuest: We already did once 6 months ago. Also, things won't start breaking from one day to the other.
      • bitmap
        tbh IE 11 is going to be the limiting factor here, if we support IE 11 then FF44 will almost certainly work as well
      • CatQuest
        :O
      • oohhkk.
      • I'll take it!
      • :D
      • Freso
        CatQuest: :)
      • yvanzo
        CatQuest: Actually, even Debian Wheezy moved to FF 52.
      • Freso
        Let's wrap up? bitmap, yvanzo got anything more on this?
      • bitmap
        nope, that's all
      • Freso
        Alright!
      • CatQuest
        I'm on macos 10.7 tho not debian
      • Freso
        Thanks for your time everyone!
      • CatQuest
        thank you Freso !
      • CatQuest goes to make dinner :D
      • was great hearing about travels in india and ideas onward. also looking forward to more chhavi designs :D
      • yvanzo
        CatQuest: I mentioned it just because it’s one of the most conservative distribution. :)
      • CatQuest
        Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―
      • well I know that about debian. doesn't mean that it's easy for someone with a lot of tab groups πŸ™€
      • CrossPollinationBrainz lolz. should that be Brainbzzzzz ?
      • dpmittal
        iliekcomputers: Are you free right now? Wanted to discuss my doubts regarding CB-245.
      • BrainzBot
        CB-245: Migrate entity ratings from MusicBrainz to CritiqueBrainz https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/CB-245
      • iliekcomputers
        dpmittal: hi!
      • yvanzo
        </BANG>
      • CatQuest
        :o so we actually decided to move ratings to CB after all? \o/
      • iliekcomputers
        CatQuest: yeah, we decided that ratings made more sense in CB
      • CatQuest
        that's what I've bee nsaying!
      • anyway that's a good idea. also for crosspolination: make it possible to rate *from* mb but store it *on* CB, and ofcourse be able to suggest "review this" as well
      • hmm reviewing singular recordings? that never occured to me, we can do this?
      • iliekcomputers
        CatQuest: we can't, right now
      • CatQuest
        it's much easier for me to do that thna whole albums
      • Leo_Verto
        yvanzo: hey, I've kind of got a problem
