      • lauri
        a timeline view
      • (but that's a whole 'nother thing)
      • wouldn't that be awesome though?
      • luks
        for band membership?
      • or any data in MB?
      • Cord
        :-)
      • . o O ( it also would be nice to handle bandmembers who left the group for some time and came back.
      • lauri
        evvvverything :)
      • and that :)
      • luks
        MB seriously needs redesign
      • lauri
        and 'what else got released this day/date/year'
      • and oh so much stuff
      • 'what came out on my birthday'
      • and awards
      • i want to do awards!
      • can we have that please luks :)
      • Cord gets the wishlist award.
      • Cord
        ups.
      • lauri
        certified gold, grammies, whatever :)
      • Cord
        lauri gets the wishlist award.
      • lauri
        c'mon, wouldn't that be nifty (and well, nobody could argue about it, once we had a list of what's acceptable awards and what's not :)
      • which woudl be the argument of the century, to start with
      • luks
        hmm
      • lauri
        but stuff like grammy awards are very well documented
      • gold/platinum/etc certs too, in most countries (I know i can pull a list of everything ever, from the swedish version of the RIAA)
      • BrianFreud would be afraid we'd step on legal toes... "On the Billboard top 50 for 1972"...
      • luks
        so many cool ideas and soooo little time...
      • lauri
        well, that'd be a non-acceptable award (it's not much of an award anyway, it's a chart placement)
      • but a rock björn for best non-scandinavian rock act
      • i know for sure that's not copyright :)
      • (it's completely useless to most of you, but i know i'd be allowed to add it :)
      • yllona
        BrianFreud: billboard has affiliate agreements available -- something to be explored on the dread "business" side of things
      • luks: just keep up the fantastic work, it will all fall into place (eventually)
      • BrianFreud agrees :)
      • is there a wiki page to track feature suggestions?
      • BrianFreud
        bugs: "enhancement request"
      • yllona
        BrianFreud: can that be transposed to an easy-to-use wiki page for viewing?
      • so that dupes aren't entered
      • and then linked to the MB front page?
      • BrianFreud
        I'm sure it could... ought to enter an enhancement request for it :D
      • yllona
        BrianFreud: that's something you could do while half-asleep, i bet ;)
      • BrianFreud
        yeah right
      • my uberpowerful coding skillz
      • yllona
        you can do it though, yes?
      • gecks joined the channel
      • BrianFreud
        lol, code some way to get bug tickets to show as wikipages and on the front page? I'm afraid that might be a little beyond my abilities
      • BrianFreud sticks with chessboard display python programs :D
      • yllona
        the front page would be a link to the wiki...
      • lauri
        well, that surpasses my python abilities already
      • yllona: trac has an integrated wiki view, i don't know if we run it though, and i am too lazy to go look :)
      • yllona
        uh, BrianFreud you game for the lookup?
      • lauri
        in theory, some interwiki hackery might do the trick though, maybe dmppanda can do it with some funky backlinks
      • yllona
        isn't it holiday time in Paris? or is that august? :P
      • lauri
      • it is france
      • i think it's from now until about october
      • BrianFreud
        lol
      • well, july 14 for independance day, I don't remember any other holidays between now and then from the time I lived there
      • lauri
        similar to sweden (where i tried to see what was on at the movie theaters this weekend, only to find all the ones in an hours drive of here are in fact closed for summer vacations)
      • it's summer, most of europe is currently closed
      • except turkey, the canary islands, southern greece, the spanish riviera
      • which is where you'll find all the swedes, germans and french
      • yllona
        okay, that mean brian is in the batting cage :P
      • BrianFreud swings and misses
      • BrianFreud swings and misses again
      • BrianFreud swings and .... the might BrianFreud has struck out!
      • nope. you're not trying
      • lauri
        me, i gotta do a remote kernel upgrade on the machine i am irc'ing from
      • i may be gone a while lol
      • yllona

      • lauri

      • ruaok has quit
      • BrianFreud
        ouch
      • yeah FauxFaux said it took like 5 gb... more than I have free atm
      • aCiD2
        Nope, ran out of space again
      • Looks like I'm gonna have to set the database up on my wardrobe gentoo server... that's gonna make the site really zippy :X
      • FauxFaux has quit
