        thanks a lot
      • 2007-06-18 16902, 2007

      • foolip
        where can I find these numbers?
      • 2007-06-18 16919, 2007

      • foolip
        might they happen to be in the HTML code for the dropdown boxes?
      • 2007-06-18 16949, 2007

      • Jugdish
        yep, that's how i found them
      • 2007-06-18 16959, 2007

      • foolip
        I see
      • 2007-06-18 16957, 2007

      • foolip
        would anyone happen to know how that reports in "editing suggestions" are generated or who I should ask about adding new ones_
      • 2007-06-18 16910, 2007

      • Jugdish
        fyi, here's the full list: 18 = Arabic, 76 = Chinese, 100 = Danish, 113 = Dutch; Flemish, 120 = English, 131 = Finnish, 134 = French, 145 = German, 176 = Hungarian, 195 = Italian, 198 = Japanese, 239 = Latvian, 309 = Norwegian, 338 = Polish, 340 = Portuguese, 353 = Russian, 393 = Spanish; Castilian, 403 = Swedish, 433 = Turkish, 284 = [Multiple languages]
      • 2007-06-18 16927, 2007

      • foolip
        ah, ta

      • FauxFaux
        That's rather random. :p
      • 2007-06-18 16951, 2007

      • foolip
        I'm thinking that a sanity check for chinese encoding might be in order, checking that han simplified doesn't contain traditional characters and so on
      • 2007-06-18 16956, 2007

      • Jugdish
        foolip: they're generated by writing small perl/sql scripts
      • 2007-06-18 16920, 2007

      • foolip
        that are run on the database server?
      • 2007-06-18 16926, 2007

      • Jugdish
        yep
      • 2007-06-18 16950, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        I actually have a server set-up if anyone wants any reports run against the raw sql.
      • 2007-06-18 16951, 2007

      • foolip
        is there a way to experiment if I want to try out new ideas_

      • 2007-06-18 16925, 2007

      • foolip
        I mean, can I get hold of those scripts for reference?
      • 2007-06-18 16952, 2007

      • foolip
        maybe there's in CVS somewhere_
      • 2007-06-18 16953, 2007

        "D.C." however ought to be "DC"
      • 2007-06-18 16949, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        as for how he's doing it...
      • 2007-06-18 16920, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        my take: If we're truely going to add boots as multiple discs, rather than combining them. because they were originally distributed that way, then the opposite also ought to be true: if the boot *wasn't* distributed as a multi-disc release, it ought not to be similarly artificially split, just because someone wants to make it fit a CD. That ring true to you guys?
      • 2007-06-18 16931, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        oh, and it's "9:30 Club" - no "The".
      • 2007-06-18 16944, 2007

      • Jugdish
        the reason i was adding multi-disc boots was because they were being distributed labeled as d1t1, etc. but if something i just labeled t1-t21 then that seems like a single disc
      • 2007-06-18 16952, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        right
      • 2007-06-18 16957, 2007

        It shows 21 tracks on one release, in the original distribution - not 10 and 11 or some other artificial split.

      • BrianFreud
        at a certain point, I think we just felt... committed... to try and do it all ourselves, if noone else would do it, else the whole cotm, already on shakey grounds from DS, might die off
