ruaok: actually we need to force them to create FAQ, public mail lists for users and implementors… I'm getting several e-mails from per week asking for DDEX template we are able to process, "because we're not sure what part of spec to implement"
2012-02-02 03311, 2012
ruaok
srsly.
2012-02-02 03316, 2012
ruaok

2012-02-02 03321, 2012
ruaok

I went to the "open implementation meeting"
2012-02-02 03308, 2012
ruaok
it would've been better titled "open meeting about DDEX implementations"

ruaok: I agree so much...

I was hoping they had talking about their promised open source implementation too
2012-02-02 03349, 2012
ruaok
sadly, no.
2012-02-02 03311, 2012
ruaok
I think zvooq/mb/last.fm will be the first ones to create an open implementation
2012-02-02 03309, 2012
ruaok
woot!

ruaok

you just reminded me that I need to ping your successors about finally releasing the RDF dump stuff.
that's fine, there are still some releases left :-)
2012-02-02 03328, 2012
hrglgrmpf
also, my set_language script takes release/medium titles into count
2012-02-02 03349, 2012
hrglgrmpf
after the BBC review script is finished I can set the language of 20k releases :-)

english?
2012-02-02 03314, 2012
hrglgrmpf
yes…
2012-02-02 03349, 2012
hrglgrmpf
I tried it with French, Spanish and German, but my method worked only for like 10
2012-02-02 03358, 2012
hrglgrmpf
either the dictionaries are not as complete, or there are more words from other languages (English!), or there are more non-dictionary words (names…) or there are just not many non-English releases left with unset language
2012-02-02 03314, 2012
hrglgrmpf
or all of them
2012-02-02 03342, 2012
hrglgrmpf
I guess 95% of the releases with unset language are English anyway
