(unless that's due just to how lazy we all are, I haven't read the logs)

reosarevok: has anyone tried to create any RG guidelines? I don’t recall any.

yes, we gave up shortly after they were added

Ah, long ago then. :-)

What guidelines would there be?

When to merge / not merge, for one

How to title them, too, I imagine

we have official guidelines now :P

woot.

I <3 archive.org

MBChatLogger: off

is not logging

is logging

Depends on the dick.

("his" is not meant to be "reosarevok's", he would never do that)

reosarevok, someone else could upload a picture of it, though.

of course, if whoever uploads the dick picture is clever they'll make it the cover for a digital release that they put somewhere publicly-accessible :P

i.e. make it legit

hahaha

suddenly porn companies start putting out music to get linked to from musicbrainz for some reason. :-D

edit note: "this is a picture of my penis. <bandcamp link>"

Speaking of which, are there any plans to ever open musicbrainz up to Google indexing?

plans

hawke_: yes, but its a lot of work.

but who know when it'll happen...

and not very important when compared to the mountain of bugs.

yeah, we don't really need even more people breaking stuff :P

do you want to seach for edits or have google index our stuff? :)

it is? seems to me we'd just need to stop banning crawlers in robots.txt :P

srsly.

ianmcorvidae: do you know how many unique pages MB is?

fair enough

nikki: I’m honestly less worried about that than I am about MB being too obscure.

on the order of millions. if you dont support HTTP caching the bot will never finish.

given the relatively draconian editing requirements…

I wish people would lighten up a little bit wrt to that.

we have way more jpop than discogs, that's for sure :P

and not just because of me

my general idea was have edits make things better without a large burden of proof

lol

We have way more Spanish rap than discogs too

nikki: I agree. given that we're still flying below the radar, we're doing well.

It’s too much of an obscure thing, not enough of a “first place to go” like say imdb is for movies

FWIW

paychecks are covered, lights are on.

because no one has heard of it. ;-)

hawke_: thats fine. we will get there.

when I first started MB people in the industry were: MB what?

now, people come up to me and say: Are you the MB guy?

MB is awesome. can we buy you dinner/drinks?

its come a LOOOOOONG way.

For sure.

:p

haha

I can send you some cucumbers if you want

reosarevok: come to an MB event and I iwll buy you dinner!

EVIL!

they think it's the beansprouts!

damn, so evil, nikki. :)

but the cucumbers are really cheap now

lol cucumbers

anyway, I'm nowhere near hamburg

HH is the epicenter it seems...

hm. 13.4 million if you add up all the core entities...

but in how many unique pages that does flatten out to?

several times that.

yeah, just saying

anyway, I wouldn't send reosarevok stuff if I thought it was bad, I like talking to him!

oh

ruaok: decide when and where you're making the summit and I'll go

(probably)

I think we should have an NGS celebration in Bologna and a full summit later.

haha

I think it ought to be rotterdam

Kinda relating to work parts, but not really: Is there a way to relate a performer to just one song of a track that contains three songs? And assuming not (I don’t think there is), can anyone think of a good way for that to be implemented?

in oct.

or late sept.

I wonder if warp still has a spare flat.

that would be useful. :)

I don't think so

good for him.

So Tartu - Riga - Charleroi - Rotterdam… meh, long trip, but I can live with that

I envy your "long trip".

ruaok: move to Europe then, how many times do we have to tell you?

We're cooler anyway

I would love nothing more than to come home, trust me.

but the time isn't right yet.

Anyway, ruaok, mine means 5h of train, 2h flight, 3h of train each way

So ok, not 17h of planes, but still

still painful, yes.

a day goes bye bye

It's better than my trip from Spain, which is 2h flight / 8h airport with no wifi / 2h flight

At least in the train the landscape changes

If only all airports were like Tallinn…

can't it be during the ummer vacation ;_;

summer*

october gives you more time to get the money together and get cheap tickets

Grrr…why is it possible to add a relationship [group] collaborated on [person]?

then again, next semester i am forced to do *shudder* social studies.. so i can probably skip days i don't really care >:3

hawke_: to annoy you

and member of, too

i need actual place, time and sate though for that uyea

omg

going to japan

dudes, if we ever have a summit in japan

yeah! I'm excited :)

ianmcorvidae: don't go to Japan, it's full of earthquake and giggling girls

like can I go? will you chip in for me lololol

lol

8-)

I would probably buy an entire cd shop

uhuhuhu

"European woman dies crushed by her CDs"

probably my trip will mostly be hanging out in kitakyushu and/or looking at volcanoe

then I'd need to figure out how to ship the shop (bricks and all) back

and buy an insae amount of ramen

and try all gacha-pon!

(my dad is going there for a volcanism conference, heh, so)

nikki: why not buying a *profitable* shop then?

although I'm worried about the same thing nikki mentions :P

That way you can stay!

maybe I don't want to!

ianmcorvidae: you *MUST* bring back suvineers!!!!
