wikidocs does not transclude the images properly

ahhh yes

wolfsong13: what too?

didn't even look

yeah well, this one didn't.. but, I figured it was close, and it meshed with another source.. so, I used them.

but the pics are broken :-(

Shepard: you should have an official bio

this one is at least 2 years old -> http://musicbrainz.org/bio.html

I should?

I should?

yup

then don't

him, tsk ;-)

this is an open source project after all :)

wolfsong13: that was not in your direction, I'm just wondering why I should have an official bio

actually, the MB community always tried to tell developers what to do

djce knows that better than anyone, I guess :-)

Yeah, but now I just deny everything.

:-)

LOL

yalaforge: yes but I belong to the people telling developers what to do and not to the developers :)

"Uh, that's like, programming? Nah, not me."

lol

it only works with new developers. and rob, of course

quote: "when we have the nextgenerationschema, then we can add this and that, and ...."

hey that's from me! :)

djce: is jsimmons still active?

I haven't heard for ages.

hahaha. you expect me to write about myself?

In fact I mailed him a week or two ago, and haven't heard back.

I'll have to ask ruaok.

I was supposed to write about myself for my english coursework at school, a year later they still had nothing from me

johan writes on his profile page: "Main MusicBrainz designer."

hmm.

nikki_: you can copy the content over from the old wikidocs.

i will not write a single bio entry

the one and only mail from johan I read was on mb-users, right after I joined. that was ca 3 years ago

mb isn't "excellent resume fodder" like it is stated on the helpwanted page :)

i've tried

hehe

bio idea... official sucky asshat and general fairweather personage

hey that sounds good. can I use that?

bah

;) it may not be the truth... but, hey, it's something. :)

sure Shep! :D

Can someone answer me a really simple wiki question?

Namely: what is the current status of "wikidocs"?

no meta-questions :)

There is a separate wiki, wikidocs.mb.org IIRC.

Is that used?

And is it planned to be used in the future?

a what?

or "MusicBrainz user, in contrast to yalaforge, did not wrote anbsome code.

blubb

djce: no, wikidocs is version 1.0 of the idea

wikidocs 2.0 uses the main wiki, and revisions of pages which are transcluded

ok. so the live web we currently have uses 1.0, namely wikidocs.mb.org, yes?

yes. but only a few pages

all which use /wd/ in fact

but in the future it will switch to wiki.mb.org, and wikidocs.mb.org will be redundant, yes?

but the content had to be manually copied over to the wikidocs server, which was then decided to be stupid.

yay

ok, thanks!

good example of what we've talked before: http://lists.musicbrainz.org/pipermail/musicbra...

You're welcome. I think they're trying to change each disc... but, I'm not positive.

That's cool. :) I tried to do a quick search, but found a lot of different dates, so thought I'd turn it over to the pro. :D

lolnyght,

I'll have to keep an eye out for it next time I'm out and about shopping music.. or, in a library.

alef[null] is now known as alefnull-[A]

alefnull-[A] is now known as alef[null]

!?

well that was interesting :p

...

duude

dude

:\

damn away scripts :p

shephard are you there?

yes

http://musicbrainz.org/taglookup.html?artist=%E... <- what else does it want me to provide :/

that url was horrible, sorry

http://musicbrainz.org/track/3b7bf7e6-6cf4-41c9... it should match this track :/

yllona: what was it?

shep: i'm still confused on collab ARs. Is it valid for person->person, person->group, but not group->group?

it should only be valid for person->group imho

okay, got ya.

then how is the different from the dread "feat." or is it a replacement?

*how is it different

collaborations don't have a primary artist.

thx nikki

no. all main performers are credited as the artists for a track/release. if there are more than one person or a band, then create a collaboration. all secondary artists are credited with (feat. ...) in the track/release title and with an AR to it

so if it says "person A with person B" then person B is likely to be a secondary performer and feat. should be used (there are exceptions). if it says "person A & person B" and you cannot say one of them is the primary performer, then create a collaboration

oh, under certain circumstances group->group can also be correct for collaborations, when bands collaborated with other bands or persons

i don't think collab is correct for Parliament/Funkdadelic, as 90% of the personnel is teh same in both bands

it's really more of a name change with guest artists

luks ?
