        dupuy: it'll count whatever data I throw at it, I was specifically doing tracks though
      • 2005-01-06 00654, 2005

      • dupuy
        well, if you look at artist aliases, you should see some arabic now...
      • 2005-01-06 00645, 2005

      • cikkolata
        ooh
      • 2005-01-06 00656, 2005

      • dupuy
        just one artist for now...

        i have a "Bellydance with Warda" CD at home that might have some Arabic, that will be my next project...
      • 2005-01-06 00629, 2005

      • cikkolata
        ah
      • 2005-01-06 00604, 2005

      • dupuy
        it's hard to find the correct arabic except sometimes as part of cover art, and I am just beginning (even after this course)
      • 2005-01-06 00624, 2005

      • dupuy
        so I don't want to just blindly (de)transliterate...

        every time I try to learn to read arabic and hebrew, I'm foiled by the lack of vowels
      • 2005-01-06 00606, 2005

      • kass
        hebrew, at least, has vowels, they're just kind of optional
      • 2005-01-06 00616, 2005

      • cikkolata
        exactly.
      • 2005-01-06 00636, 2005

      • kass
        Most things will use them though, printed books do anyway

        it does help if you know the words though, you tend to just fill them in. Try starting with kiddy books, you may have an easier time of it. :)

      • 2005-01-06 00617, 2005

      • kass
        ah, no, there is that. :) Find a local mosque or synagogue and ask if they have children's classes?
      • 2005-01-06 00626, 2005

      • cikkolata
        hmmmm...
      • 2005-01-06 00637, 2005

      • kass
        They may, if nothing else, have children's textbooks

        seems lucas is alive again. did you two talk already?
      • 2005-01-06 00637, 2005

      • ruaok
        I prodded him this morning.

        he promptly wanted to talk on the phone, but I told him to get some work done first. :-)
      • 2005-01-06 00606, 2005

      • yalaforge
        hehe
      • 2005-01-06 00613, 2005

      • ruaok
        but there seems to be some movement on xspf, and thats exciting.
      • 2005-01-06 00632, 2005

      • ruaok
        too bad I'm dicking with financial software right now.
      • 2005-01-06 00646, 2005

      • ruaok
        but we knew there would be some downsides to having a non-profit.
      • 2005-01-06 00648, 2005

      • yalaforge
        right. and I don't have much time
      • 2005-01-06 00653, 2005

      • yalaforge
        yup
      • 2005-01-06 00615, 2005

      • ruaok
        though with xspf, we're over the hump. From here its just a little touch-ups here and there
      • 2005-01-06 00622, 2005

      • ruaok drueckt die daumen
      • 2005-01-06 00624, 2005

      • yalaforge
        let's hope so
      • 2005-01-06 00642, 2005

      • yalaforge
        lucas still doesn't understand the schema idea, I'm afraid
      • 2005-01-06 00656, 2005

      • yalaforge
        If we sell it to him, we're done ;-)
      • 2005-01-06 00609, 2005

      • ruaok
        werde ich schon machen.
      • 2005-01-06 00620, 2005

      • yalaforge
        gut, danke
      • 2005-01-06 00632, 2005

      • ruaok
        I grok it now and why, so I'll make sure it gets carried.
      • 2005-01-06 00653, 2005

      • yalaforge
        did you read my mail yet?
      • 2005-01-06 00611, 2005

      • yalaforge
        I hope I didn't overlook something, but it's already pretty good
      • 2005-01-06 00629, 2005

      • ruaok
        yes, thanks.
      • 2005-01-06 00657, 2005

      • ruaok
        oh, you asked about the extension stuff.
      • 2005-01-06 00600, 2005

      • ruaok
      • 2005-01-06 00609, 2005

      • ruaok
        and yes, I will push to get that through as well.
      • 2005-01-06 00632, 2005

      • yalaforge
        cool
      • 2005-01-06 00620, 2005

      • yalaforge
        err, I think the extension element needs an attribute to identify it
      • 2005-01-06 00642, 2005

      • yalaforge
        otherwise different extensions might clash
      • 2005-01-06 00657, 2005

      • ruaok
        to tell the diff between playlist and track level exts?
      • 2005-01-06 00608, 2005

      • yalaforge
        <extension type="URI>...</extension>
      • 2005-01-06 00623, 2005

      • yalaforge
        no to tell the difference between extensions by different vendors
      • 2005-01-06 00651, 2005

      • ruaok
        oh, yes!
      • 2005-01-06 00605, 2005

      • ruaok is glad yalaforge is checking his shit
      • 2005-01-06 00607, 2005

      • yalaforge
        then there would be zeroOrMore extension elements
      • 2005-01-06 00623, 2005

      • yalaforge
        I think I suggested that months ago ;-)
      • 2005-01-06 00639, 2005

      • ruaok
        well, I did miss that entire thread. :(

        yet. A pattern like "\d.\d" would be appropriate."
      • 2005-01-06 00656, 2005

      • ruaok
        do you know how to express that in relax NG ?
      • 2005-01-06 00611, 2005

      • yalaforge
        relax NG uses XML schema datatypes
      • 2005-01-06 00623, 2005

      • yalaforge
        those datatypes support regular expressions
      • 2005-01-06 00649, 2005

      • yalaforge
        is it possible to define your own datatypes in relax NG?
      • 2005-01-06 00608, 2005

      • yalaforge
        otherwise we'd have to leave it as an unstructured string
      • 2005-01-06 00636, 2005

      • ruaok
        I think so, but it makes validatio a lot harder when you have custom types.
      • 2005-01-06 00651, 2005

      • ruaok
        </attribute>
      • 2005-01-06 00653, 2005

      • ruaok
        is it?
      • 2005-01-06 00602, 2005

      • yalaforge
        nope
      • 2005-01-06 00603, 2005

      • ruaok
        there needs to be some qualitifer, right?>
      • 2005-01-06 00609, 2005

      • ruaok
        at least
      • 2005-01-06 00625, 2005

      • yalaforge
      • 2005-01-06 00652, 2005

      • yalaforge
        the spec provides methods to restrict existing data types using regular expressions
      • 2005-01-06 00605, 2005

      • yalaforge
        <simpleType name='myString'>
      • 2005-01-06 00606, 2005

      • yalaforge
        </simpleType>
      • 2005-01-06 00615, 2005

      • yalaforge
        that's how it's done in XML Schema
      • 2005-01-06 00629, 2005

      • yalaforge
        there's probably an equivalent method in Relax NG
      • 2005-01-06 00639, 2005

      • ruaok
        OK, I'll have a look.
      • 2005-01-06 00657, 2005

      • yalaforge
        it's not really important
      • 2005-01-06 00615, 2005

      • yalaforge just read lucas' comment on element ordering
      • 2005-01-06 00655, 2005

      • ruaok
        isn't the right element ordering *required* in XML??
      • 2005-01-06 00605, 2005

      • yalaforge
        und schon wei� ich wieder, warum ich nicht mehr auf der liste bin
      • 2005-01-06 00609, 2005

      • yalaforge
        yes. absolutely
      • 2005-01-06 00615, 2005

      • ruaok
        ok. gut.
      • 2005-01-06 00626, 2005

      • yalaforge
        "trackList - MUST contain exactly one"
      • 2005-01-06 00603, 2005

      • yalaforge
        are empty playlists worth having?
      • 2005-01-06 00606, 2005

      • ruaok
        why do you think it should be allowed to contain none?
      • 2005-01-06 00608, 2005

      • ruaok
        heh.
      • 2005-01-06 00613, 2005

      • ruaok
        I can't really see a reason.
      • 2005-01-06 00630, 2005

      • yalaforge
        there could still be information in the <extension> or <meta> elements
      • 2005-01-06 00643, 2005

      • yalaforge
        some complex filerting or something that doesn't need tracks
      • 2005-01-06 00647, 2005

      • yalaforge
        filtering
      • 2005-01-06 00621, 2005

      • ruaok
        Seems like one of those, I can't think of a concrete case right now, but looks like it might be useful kinda cases.
      • 2005-01-06 00645, 2005

      • yalaforge
        we gain a little bit of flexibility
      • 2005-01-06 00625, 2005

      • yalaforge
        and empty Playlist objects in a library are always in a valid state even if they contain no tracks
      • 2005-01-06 00649, 2005

      • yalaforge
        they can be rendered at anytime and you don't have to throw exceptions if the track list is empty
      • 2005-01-06 00603, 2005

      • yalaforge
        (the main reason, to be honest)
      • 2005-01-06 00652, 2005

      • ruaok
        ok, I've updated the schema with your comments. lets see if my changes work.
      • 2005-01-06 00602, 2005

      • yalaforge
        argh. lucas wouldn't add code to enforce the ordering, so I read
      • 2005-01-06 00609, 2005

      • yalaforge
        OF COURSE NOT!!
      • 2005-01-06 00635, 2005

      • yalaforge
        why would someone want to do that? it's just a requirement for rendering playlists
      • 2005-01-06 00624, 2005

        I found a... thingy that I really like. "Attending a meeting of Sami and Norwegian officials, one of the Sami participants was asked, "Do you need an interpreter?" "No", she answered, "I don't. But I will give my talk in Sami so it might be that you will need one""
      • 2005-01-06 00630, 2005

      • cikkolata
        that was completely off topic
