nikki: do you know if there is an existing *stuff* (report, script, ws, etc.) to export a collection to CSV *including at least catalogue number and number of tracks* (which ws/2/collection doesn’t ?
2013-11-20 32444, 2013
nikki
the only way to get information about collections is via the ws
2013-11-20 32450, 2013

so if it doesn't do what you want, no

and (sorry i was away for a bit) i see you can create reports… can you create such report ?
if it’s here like i used to be able to test being automod for my scripts
2013-11-20 32445, 2013
nikki
if you're talking about the reports on the sandbox, no, I can't and neither can you. that data only exists in the live db
2013-11-20 32413, 2013
jesus2099
i don’t know i saw you drop a report URL recently where i saw some URL that were linked to this or that… in MB report… it was written REPORT WRITTEN BY NIKKI then [edit report] link or something, it looked like editable by you, no ?
2013-11-20 32451, 2013
jesus2099
a report would be the good solution for exporting stuff… or a /ws/2/?fmt=csv
2013-11-20 32404, 2013
nikki
like I said, neither of us can make a report

please read what I said properly
2013-11-20 32402, 2013

then the display of that report i saw was misleadingly saying you made it, wonder why… ok so hmmm let’s see what i can do…… i need a checklist of my releases so that i don’t buy twice the same when i go shopping

ow, then you are
2013-11-20 32438, 2013
nikki
whether or not I made a url report is completely irrelevant
2013-11-20 32441, 2013
nikki
because collections are not urls
2013-11-20 32400, 2013

ah ok, you mean you can do reports but not collection repotrs ! now i think i get it

how can you guaranty learning a language simply by signing a contract (and a check) ? :D

Bleh, the “has no relationships” on overviews is such a fail. :-(

reosarevok: Same applies to "rights society" relation; http://musicbrainz.org/label/ce87b21a-8793-4d99-8… (for example) I just starded use that relation, but it's applies about every Nordisk release...

The Classical FAQ thing brings up a question we talked about in the doc team thingy. That is, should we maintain multiple layers that can get out of sync?
2013-11-20 32420, 2013
CallerNo6 feels like, "yeah, as long as somebody is willing to keep it up to date"

“multiple layers”?
2013-11-20 32411, 2013
hawke_1
meaning FAQ vs. style guide?

meaning "official docs" vs FAQs and other unofficial thingies

well, "un-" or "semi-"
2013-11-20 32405, 2013

I think it’s fine as long as we can actually keep track of it all.
2013-11-20 32412, 2013

exactly
2013-11-20 32421, 2013

That seems to be the usual problem, more than keeping it up to date.
2013-11-20 32448, 2013
hawke_1
We lose track of what stuff needs to be kept up to date, and users find random pages that we don’t even remember/know exists.
2013-11-20 32451, 2013

CallerNo6: What FAQ says (that style guide do not)?
2013-11-20 32400, 2013

I never really followed classical style guide, so I do not know. :/
2013-11-20 32443, 2013

How-to stuff is also great, but screenshots can quickly be outdated even if the general guide is still useful
2013-11-20 32432, 2013

I thought (wrongly) that the Classical FAQ had been "historied".
I think that page do not provide anything useful.... (So why we can't move that to historical pages?
2013-11-20 32436, 2013
Jozo
reosarevok: Do we really need some style-process to move something not useful to historical?
2013-11-20 32445, 2013
reosarevok
Not really
2013-11-20 32459, 2013

But I said we should remove it and people were like "nooo, it's useful!"
2013-11-20 32410, 2013
CallerNo6
Jozo: a few people on the mailing list want to keep it (and update it). But if that doesn't happen, move it to "history" and see if anybody complains :-)

Jozo
CallerNo6: Ah, I've not checked my mails lately...

Most out-dated advice? "Bring it up on the Users Mailing List"! (if you have a question that the FAQ doesn't answer)
