      • luks
        but I failed at adding it to the WS
      • 2007-08-15 22718, 2007

      • ruaok and listens

      • warp cheers on the tagging coders
      • 2007-08-15 22738, 2007

      • luks
        GET /ws/1/tag/ should return list of user's tags
      • 2007-08-15 22757, 2007

      • luks
        because if we want to have applications to support tagging, they need to know what tags are already there
      • 2007-08-15 22702, 2007

      • ruaok
        yep.
      • 2007-08-15 22727, 2007

      • ruaok
        wanna split the tasks? you do this one and I do the transaction mucking?
      • 2007-08-15 22752, 2007

      • luks
        ok
      • 2007-08-15 22703, 2007

      • ruaok
        ok, on to coverart ARs.

        so....
      • 2007-08-15 22750, 2007

      • ruaok
        luks: do you think that changing the coverart support to have direct links is a good idea?

        and that's who was hiding in the grassy knoll.

      • brianfreud
        :P

      • ruaok heats up some food
      • 2007-08-15 22737, 2007

      • luks
        now some more productive question... :)
      • 2007-08-15 22739, 2007

      • JoanW
        welcome back
      • 2007-08-15 22747, 2007

      • ruaok
        shoot.
      • 2007-08-15 22748, 2007

      • luks
        when do we want to have the test version of the next release ready?
      • 2007-08-15 22753, 2007

      • luks
        next week?
      • 2007-08-15 22712, 2007

      • ruaok
        I'm afraid I wont make it through my bug list before then,
      • 2007-08-15 22719, 2007

      • ruaok
        its looong.
      • 2007-08-15 22736, 2007

      • ruaok
        and I'm afk from 24.8 til 3.9
      • 2007-08-15 22757, 2007

      • ruaok
        and my brain is scheduled for dry cleaning on 5.9 :)
      • 2007-08-15 22713, 2007

      • brianfreud
        I haven't looked - has anyone put in a bug yet for the screwy display of edit notes on edits?
      • 2007-08-15 22722, 2007

      • ruaok isn't sure.
      • 2007-08-15 22724, 2007

      • brianfreud
      • 2007-08-15 22746, 2007

      • JoanW has quit
      • 2007-08-15 22749, 2007

      • brianfreud
        the timestamp moved to in front of the notes, and is causing all sorts of funkyness
      • 2007-08-15 22714, 2007

      • luks
        I think this xhtml branch can't do the release
      • 2007-08-15 22723, 2007

      • luks
        it would cause too many problems
      • 2007-08-15 22730, 2007

      • ruaok
        would more time help?
      • 2007-08-15 22738, 2007

      • brianfreud
        the menu parts seem ok, but the rest of the pages still need some work
      • 2007-08-15 22739, 2007

      • luks
        er, *can't do to the release
      • 2007-08-15 22747, 2007

      • luks
        ruaok: I'm not sure
      • 2007-08-15 22700, 2007

      • ruaok
        separate non schema change release?
      • 2007-08-15 22712, 2007

      • luks
        it would be probably safer that way
      • 2007-08-15 22717, 2007

      • ruaok
        ok.
      • 2007-08-15 22753, 2007

      • ruaok
        I can keep working on bugs for the next week and maybe we can get a an early version of the new branch up by the time I leave>?
      • 2007-08-15 22706, 2007

      • ruaok
        then when I get back I can work on more bugs and the tagging improvements.
      • 2007-08-15 22709, 2007

      • ruaok
        UI improvements.
      • 2007-08-15 22723, 2007

      • ruaok
        how does that sound for an approach?
      • 2007-08-15 22736, 2007

      • luks
        sounds good
      • 2007-08-15 22745, 2007

      • ruaok
        so, shoot for say... a formal call for testing on the 23rd?
      • 2007-08-15 22700, 2007

      • brianfreud
        Could I make a suggestion?
      • 2007-08-15 22705, 2007

      • luks
        yep, that's fine
      • 2007-08-15 22710, 2007

      • ruaok
        ok. deal.
      • 2007-08-15 22720, 2007

      • ruaok
        brianfreud: its never stopped you before. :)
      • 2007-08-15 22725, 2007

      • brianfreud
        LOL
      • 2007-08-15 22727, 2007

      • brianfreud
        Problem I always run into on test is I'm normally not really sure what is new that needs testing.
      • 2007-08-15 22746, 2007

      • ruaok
        how about we issue a changelog before the test?
      • 2007-08-15 22746, 2007

      • brianfreud
        Any chance of a list of the new stuff that is aimed at the release, so we know what specifically to test?
      • 2007-08-15 22758, 2007

      • brianfreud
        yeah, that's the idea
      • 2007-08-15 22712, 2007

      • ruaok
        we'll include that in the formal test announcement.
      • 2007-08-15 22707, 2007

      • murdos
        we could also revive something like that in the wiki: http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/ServerReleaseNotes/20…
      • 2007-08-15 22742, 2007

      • murdos
        could be useful to track what should be tested
      • 2007-08-15 22707, 2007

      • murdos
        ?
      • 2007-08-15 22706, 2007

      • ruaok
        thanks for volunteering murdos!

      • 2007-08-15 22702, 2007

      • murdos
        ok, I'll start something, but you know it's a wiki anyone can contribute ;)
      • 2007-08-15 22730, 2007

      • ruaok
        I will write up the tagging stuff, for sure
      • 2007-08-15 22707, 2007

      • murdos
        thanks :) anyway I couldn't have written the tagging stuff ^^
      • 2007-08-15 22718, 2007

      • brianfreud
        luks: on the other thing, I have acid2 on IM - you need to talk to him at all about it now?
      • 2007-08-15 22718, 2007

      • luks
        no, it's too late for me to talk about technical things in picard
      • 2007-08-15 22723, 2007

      • brianfreud
        lol, ok

      • 2007-08-15 22720, 2007

      • brianfreud
        ya, a few
      • 2007-08-15 22726, 2007

      • luks
        I'm slowly going through this list and adding them one by one - http://89.173.152.204/~lukas/mb/vs.php
      • 2007-08-15 22731, 2007

      • brianfreud

        I'd like to have the 302 ... series complete
      • 2007-08-15 22706, 2007

      • brianfreud
        yes, I saw your label note - I added a few other cancelled releases to the list
      • 2007-08-15 22756, 2007

      • brianfreud
        nice
      • 2007-08-15 22713, 2007

        you adding the colosseum events?
      • 2007-08-15 22723, 2007

      • luks
        not for now
      • 2007-08-15 22732, 2007

      • luks
        only if there already is now without cat# info

      • brianfreud
        I see CVS numbers, but not VSD ones - oh, right, you're doing the 302s...
      • 2007-08-15 22732, 2007

      • brianfreud
        I wish there was some way to edit a wiki table as a table...

      • 2007-08-15 22743, 2007

      • brianfreud
        editing a table as large as this one in wikicode's a pain in the neck
      • 2007-08-15 22719, 2007

      • yllona
        do spreadsheets export to XHTML? or can you embed a spreadsheet as PDF? something like that?
      • 2007-08-15 22731, 2007

      • yllona
        or XML?
      • 2007-08-15 22722, 2007

      • brianfreud
        Best I've found is to take the table, dump it in Excel, and data -> columns on "|"
      • 2007-08-15 22700, 2007

      • brianfreud
        then re-add the |'s later, make sure to incorporate any changes since I snagged my copy (luks, whoever), add them in, and paste it all back
      • 2007-08-15 22715, 2007

      • yllona
        yeah... primitive but effective
      • 2007-08-15 22737, 2007

      • brianfreud
        a true moinmoin wysiwyg table editor, with basic sort, etc would be so nice
      • 2007-08-15 22752, 2007

      • brianfreud
        wikipedia recently added sortable tables, though I don't know what they're like to edit
      • 2007-08-15 22732, 2007

      • yllona
        i'm nore familiar with mediawiki than moinmoin

      • 2007-08-15 22734, 2007

      • luks
        well, the refcount value doesn't represent the tag usage
      • 2007-08-15 22747, 2007

      • luks
        that is, how many people used it
      • 2007-08-15 22723, 2007

      • luks
        so for generating a tag cloud or anything else that need "weigth" tha tags, it's not the best option
      • 2007-08-15 22718, 2007

      • luks
        but I'm not sure if it's worth tracking also the real usage...

      • 2007-08-15 22716, 2007

      • luks
        how?
      • 2007-08-15 22755, 2007

      • ruaok
        that is to track cumulative tag usage, not on a per entity basis?
      • 2007-08-15 22714, 2007

      • CatCat
        something like darkest and reddest for the biggest, lighter towards orange &yellow for smaller
      • 2007-08-15 22723, 2007

      • luks
        ruaok: yes

      • 2007-08-15 22722, 2007

        yes, this is only for global tag view
      • 2007-08-15 22725, 2007

        i'd only recommend using color if it meets accessibility standards.
