welcome back ruaok

Hi! What's the current style guidline about ampersands in release titles?

hello ArgoNavis, got an example?

A new addition... the title is "Rare & Unplugged". I could've sworn that I saw a ref that "&" should be expanded, but I can't find it anymore.

nope

it can be &

ArgoNavis: a while back, i actually had suggestions to collapse my ands into &. to be fair they were in artist collaboration names

Okay... thank you. Was I correct in remembering that there was something about this previously? I seem to remember something about how it should be expanded because some browsers make a hash out of the ampersand...

hey kiddies... I'm going to bounce the site for a couple of minutes.

lo ruaok

ArgoNavis: not that i recall

That settles it. I've got swiss cheese for brainz. Thanks wolfsong!

:-

:-)

and we're back

did you add more boxes?

no, I'm tweaking the config settings on the main DB server.

ahh

I did an os install on lingling.. we'll try and put that into the rotation soon.

did we get more publicity again?

no, our traffic is mostly steady.

but our database is growing, and not quite fitting the DB server as it used to.

we really need a server with 16GB ram.

ruaok: how much do we have now?

4

do we have slots for more memory sticks?

phew. leveled out at 150MB free.

we'd need to buy 2GB RAM sticks.

at $350 a piece.

I think I have a lead on getting a dual proc 12GB server donated soon.

ruaok: have you handed off all of picard to luks?

i wonder if we should consider implementing paging. at least for bach. or maybe an option to not display the complete album listing

wolfsong: if me not touching picard in months is considered that, then yes.

for all intents and purposes, yes. :-)

:-)

nechto13: yes, there are a number of optimizations we need to make.

Whooo hooo! Thanks for the 50 smackers, wolfsong!

;-)

have fun

Does anyone here subscribe to experts?

yes

i just unsubbed from it -_-

Ugh, I see the problem

it helps to send from the correct email address. ;)

:)

I've been making some pretty foolish mistakes tonight

same here: I tried loading the Depeche Mode entry. haha of course that won't work

must be a silly mistake day.

Nyght: btw.. have you already seen http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/OffisielleStilretni... ?

No I hadn't! That's helpful to know about. German?

norwegian

mo did it

That was my next guess when I started to really look at it, instead of the glance.

it was a proof of concept or something. well the problem we noticed was that often different languages would use the same title for a page

I guess I should write that as an answer to your mail ;)

Not a surprise... and probably best for it, but, there's got to be a way to figure this out.. it's why I was saying just the kernal information.. that which is usually messed up.

...OfficialStyleGuideEn ...De ...No ...Pl ... ?

well.. it is a wiki, so all the information is spreaded and linked. so if you translate one page you have to translate others as well of users will run in empty/untranslated pages for the information they are looking for ;)

MartinRudat: well I would translate the title ;)

*or users

As I said, I'm not looking at full internationalization, then you might as well start figuring out how to make the language shift for each part of mb, and at that time... you don't have to put any set to album or such. :D

Though, we could do different directories for the languages.. and, once it gets into the more technical stuff refer to the english pages...

I mean, in a lot of ways I'm already way beyond what I can suggest, or feel I can suggest, since I can't translate any of them... or, create any of them.

hmm... if we had a user preference for language, we could go OfficialStyleguide/en /de /pl /no /jp ...and display whichever one is available for their language, hmm... hang about, isn't that info sent by quite a few browsers already?

I would imagine so Martin

the wiki itself has a language setting. but only for those languages it is translated into

and I would prefer something like http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Norsk/OffisielleSti... because then you can translate the title as well :)
