      • ruaok
        so, tho two sentences you added...
      • 2014-11-25 32953, 2014

      • alastairp
        where do we put them?
      • 2014-11-25 32953, 2014

      • ruaok
        do you want to weave them into the points above, or are those supporting points?
      • 2014-11-25 32959, 2014

      • alastairp
        combine
      • 2014-11-25 32920, 2014

      • ruaok
        liviing doc -> #4 at the end.
      • 2014-11-25 32937, 2014

      • alastairp
        yes
      • 2014-11-25 32943, 2014

      • ruaok
        Essentia ...
      • 2014-11-25 32950, 2014

      • ruaok
        might just be another bullet point.
      • 2014-11-25 32956, 2014

      • ruaok
        it doens't fit cleanly into others.
      • 2014-11-25 32902, 2014

      • alastairp
        yeah
      • 2014-11-25 32904, 2014

      • alastairp
        3.5
      • 2014-11-25 32917, 2014

      • ruaok
        agreed.
      • 2014-11-25 32928, 2014

      • alastairp
        I'd consider deleting the beginning of what is now 5
      • 2014-11-25 32931, 2014

      • alastairp
        what we used to have
      • 2014-11-25 32950, 2014

      • alastairp
        because new4 now leads into that, then living doc explains how the data gets into ab
      • 2014-11-25 32952, 2014

      • ruaok
        gone
      • 2014-11-25 32910, 2014

      • outsidecontext
        as an outsider I don't understand what "...we expect to see different types and versions of data for different files" means / implies
      • 2014-11-25 32944, 2014

      • alastairp
        yeah, that's a terrible sentence
      • 2014-11-25 32947, 2014

      • ruaok
        outsidecontext: even though I understand, I agree with you outsidecontext
      • 2014-11-25 32925, 2014

      • outsidecontext
        now I see what you want to say, but not sure how to put it
      • 2014-11-25 32933, 2014

      • alastairp
        :)
      • 2014-11-25 32905, 2014

      • ruaok
        how about Alt 5?
      • 2014-11-25 32917, 2014

      • alastairp
        one sec, just talking with some other people
      • 2014-11-25 32905, 2014

      • outsidecontext
        ruaok, much better. still a bit complicated, but I think it is clear what you want to say
      • 2014-11-25 32907, 2014

      • ruaok
        > we work to collect up to date data
      • 2014-11-25 32908, 2014

      • ruaok
        ?
      • 2014-11-25 32935, 2014

      • alastairp
        it's too long
      • 2014-11-25 32909, 2014

      • outsidecontext
        is this sentence really a part of your goal statement? what is the goal in 5?
      • 2014-11-25 32922, 2014

      • alastairp
        yeah, I was thinking about that too
      • 2014-11-25 32924, 2014

      • outsidecontext
        to make sure, the data gets updated at some point?
      • 2014-11-25 32948, 2014

      • ruaok
        Maybe goal statement is the wrong term.
      • 2014-11-25 32901, 2014

      • ruaok
        but the main point is that the data isn't going to be perfect or up to date.
      • 2014-11-25 32905, 2014

      • ruaok
        managing expectations.
      • 2014-11-25 32928, 2014

      • ruaok
        mission statement works better, but then we might as well use this http://cmorse.org/missiongen/
      • 2014-11-25 32950, 2014

      • ruaok
        perfect: "Our vision is to proactively build ethical deliverables so that we may continue to seamlessly engineer high standards in information while maintaining the highest standards."
      • 2014-11-25 32929, 2014

      • outsidecontext
        i see, yes. i would probably switch this around, something like "while the data will sometimes be out-of-date we will be dedicated to update it"
      • 2014-11-25 32952, 2014

      • alastairp
        but it's not us
      • 2014-11-25 32903, 2014

      • alastairp
        we're "at the whim" of the public who has access to the audio
      • 2014-11-25 32943, 2014

      • ruaok
        a middle ground between the two would be nice
      • 2014-11-25 32913, 2014

      • outsidecontext
        for my understanding: why will the data get out of date? because the exctractor code changes?
      • 2014-11-25 32929, 2014

      • alastairp
        yes
      • 2014-11-25 32930, 2014

      • ruaok
        yes.
      • 2014-11-25 32954, 2014

      • alastairp
        due to improvemtns
      • 2014-11-25 32916, 2014

      • alastairp
        should we swing it that way - not that the data gets out of date, but newer data may be improved
      • 2014-11-25 32917, 2014

      • ruaok
        not speling improvmnts
      • 2014-11-25 32921, 2014

      • alastairp
        or does that not help
      • 2014-11-25 32933, 2014

      • ruaok
        its still outta date.
      • 2014-11-25 32937, 2014

      • alastairp
        yeah
      • 2014-11-25 32951, 2014

      • ruaok
        alastairp: I think you're trying too hard to be positive all around.
      • 2014-11-25 32905, 2014

      • ruaok
        it is a positive trait to admit some weakness.
      • 2014-11-25 32913, 2014

      • outsidecontext
        or put it in a positive way: while AB and Essentia get improved, AB will keep older, out-dated data
      • 2014-11-25 32917, 2014

      • ruaok
        and it allows you to speak with a human voice and not corporate BS.
      • 2014-11-25 32931, 2014

      • alastairp
        yeah, right
      • 2014-11-25 32940, 2014

      • alastairp maximises his ROI
      • 2014-11-25 32935, 2014

      • alastairp
        if we're only discussing the wording of 1 sentence in the whole document maybe we should circulate it wider
      • 2014-11-25 32940, 2014

      • alastairp
        to get more feedback
      • 2014-11-25 32900, 2014

      • alastairp
        I mean to say, we agree on everything else now, right?
      • 2014-11-25 32901, 2014

      • ruaok
        for maximum bike-shedding effect.
      • 2014-11-25 32916, 2014

      • ruaok
        I'm nearly happy with it.
      • 2014-11-25 32928, 2014

      • ruaok
        I think we should work to nail down that one sentence and get on with life.
      • 2014-11-25 32926, 2014

      • outsidecontext thinks 5.2 is quite solid
      • 2014-11-25 32937, 2014

      • ruaok
        its short and simple.
      • 2014-11-25 32933, 2014

      • ruaok
        I think 5.3 is technically more accurate, but 5.2 reads better.
      • 2014-11-25 32938, 2014

      • ruaok
        either are acceptable to me.
      • 2014-11-25 32948, 2014

      • alastairp
        does 5.2 still read ok? if so, let's use it
      • 2014-11-25 32958, 2014

      • ruaok
        I think so.
      • 2014-11-25 32905, 2014

      • alastairp
        done
      • 2014-11-25 32909, 2014

      • ruaok
        I just incorporated it into #5
      • 2014-11-25 32916, 2014

      • ruaok
        let me give it a final complete read
      • 2014-11-25 32928, 2014

      • ruaok
        > Working in a vacuum will not improve this project.
      • 2014-11-25 32940, 2014

      • ruaok
        ideally we could turn this around and make it a positive.
      • 2014-11-25 32943, 2014

      • alastairp
        yeah

        to me the 2nd half of line 2 reads rather negatively as if the project isn't really very good
      • 2014-11-25 32914, 2014

        with API on the main page, and link to sample data

        should clients and data be on download? should clients be on contribute? -- it makes more sense, but I think people will go to 'download' even to download clients

        is the fact that all of these are japanese releases a reflection of the fact that the rest of the world stopped using CDs years ago? :)
      • 2014-11-25 32958, 2014

      • kepstin-laptop
        hmm.
      • 2014-11-25 32921, 2014

      • kepstin-laptop still has some new cds from other places, but not with the level of packaging seen in the japanese releases.

      • nikki
        we have more usa releases with multiple fronts than japanese ones
      • 2014-11-25 32912, 2014

      • kepstin-laptop
        I'd expect the most common "multiple fronts" case is when you have a scan of a cd booklet or digipak case opened up with the front and back visible, along with a cropped image of only the front
      • 2014-11-25 32925, 2014

      • nikki
        so I think really what you're seeing, warp, is this weird thing called music taste
