Is there an easy way to add all of Libera's releases? (See http://site.futuramerlin.com/1779.html for a list.) I compiled that discography, and I'm not inclined to do it again. :-P

OK. By the silence here, I comprehend the reality that there isn't. :-D

i guess if you want to do some mass-inserts/edits, you have to contact somebody involved in the coding of mb
2010-03-21 08021, 2010
herojoker
perhaps the new mb version (aka NGS) will include more input methods
2010-03-21 08026, 2010
herojoker
but i'm really not into that
2010-03-21 08034, 2010
kyan
Who would be into the coding?

seems some developers reside there ^^

^^ Doesn't surprise me, given the "-devel" in the name...

I'm logging. I don't understand 'Hyped up and insomniac saneness. Gnarled tit!!', kyan. Try /msg MBChatLogger help

kyan: Just an FYI, the devs in the developer channel are also in this channel.

And no, there is no way to import bulk data.
2010-03-21 08013, 2010
kyan
Ah well. I suppose it will just be a matter of a *lot* of time... :-P
2010-03-21 08051, 2010
herojoker
is there an API for entering data?
2010-03-21 08050, 2010
navap
You can add tags and ratings via the WS, but not much else.
2010-03-21 08005, 2010
kyan
It would be handy to have an api for editing.
2010-03-21 08023, 2010
navap
Sure, but the likely end result of that would be that amount of open edits go up but the amount of voters stay the same. That's not the best situation to be in.
2010-03-21 08013, 2010
navap
It's a similar reason why bulk importing isn't available, the voters wouldn't be able to keep up with the amount of new data being entered.
2010-03-21 08018, 2010
herojoker
create a voter api and a voting-only-client for mobile phones
2010-03-21 08040, 2010
navap
herojoker: Hey, now there's a nice idea.
2010-03-21 08051, 2010
navap
Instead of playing a game for 5 min when you're free, spend 5 min voting ;p
2010-03-21 08057, 2010
herojoker
hehe

nicely presented with two large iphonish buttons "top" or "flop"
2010-03-21 08027, 2010
herojoker
the problem is that most votes require research
2010-03-21 08010, 2010
navap
A lot do, yeah, but the app could filter and only show edits that are likely to not require extensive research.
2010-03-21 08033, 2010
kyan
but that would need clustering.. =lots of nasty programming
2010-03-21 08037, 2010
kyan
:-P
2010-03-21 08001, 2010
kyan
anyway... isn't that what autoedits are for ?
2010-03-21 08003, 2010
herojoker
clustering?
2010-03-21 08015, 2010
kyan
Yes.
2010-03-21 08033, 2010
herojoker
i doubt there are so many voters...
2010-03-21 08041, 2010
herojoker
a direct connection to the server should suffice, i gues
