        I'm not sure what it's meant to be :/
      • 2005-01-05 00524, 2005

      • ruaok
        Try something like this:
      • 2005-01-05 00507, 2005

      • ruaok
        artist: 'Foo' Resolution: A Manchester, UK based funk band.
      • 2005-01-05 00532, 2005

      • ruaok
        another artist: 'Foo' Resolution: A paraguayan salsa band
      • 2005-01-05 00555, 2005

      • cikkolata
        ah
      • 2005-01-05 00500, 2005

      • ruaok
        just a small quip of info that distinguish the bands in case of conflict.
      • 2005-01-05 00515, 2005

      • ruaok
        the name 'resolution' needs to be reworked.
      • 2005-01-05 00530, 2005

      • ruaok
        qualifier, discriminator have been suggested.
      • 2005-01-05 00532, 2005

      • cikkolata
        wouldn't it make more sense to only ask for that if the artist already exists?
      • 2005-01-05 00558, 2005

      • ruaok
        I would agree, but I think that might be a bit more work.
      • 2005-01-05 00507, 2005

      • ruaok
        and how will you know that for 'add artist'?
      • 2005-01-05 00538, 2005

      • cikkolata
        it gives me a page saying it already exists... so it must know
      • 2005-01-05 00548, 2005

      • ruaok
        I guess we could bump the user back to the page if they entered an artist name that conflicts and then show the resolution fields.
      • 2005-01-05 00554, 2005

      • ruaok
        :-)
      • 2005-01-05 00528, 2005

      • ruaok
        can you do me a favor and collect your suggestions in an email and send it to me?
      • 2005-01-05 00535, 2005

      • cikkolata
        ok
      • 2005-01-05 00543, 2005

      • ruaok
        or better yet, fix things and send me a patch. :)
      • 2005-01-05 00507, 2005

      • cikkolata laughs
      • 2005-01-05 00511, 2005

      • cikkolata
        if I don't get lost in the code
      • 2005-01-05 00528, 2005

      • cikkolata
        ... I gave it a resolution and it still tells me it already exists
      • 2005-01-05 00503, 2005

      • ruaok
        Heh.
      • 2005-01-05 00513, 2005

      • ruaok
        Yeah, I've found some other rough edges with the feature.
      • 2005-01-05 00525, 2005

      • ruaok
        like not being able to erase a resolution field
      • 2005-01-05 00528, 2005

      • ruaok
        (see portishead)
      • 2005-01-05 00542, 2005

      • ruaok
        once AR remove is done I'll look into those problems.
      • 2005-01-05 00504, 2005

      • cikkolata
        I think the Type: Group thing would look nicer as a litle icon thing of one person or several people (group)
      • 2005-01-05 00559, 2005

      • ruaok
        yup.
      • 2005-01-05 00509, 2005

      • cikkolata
        I'd offer to make icon things, but they'd suck.
      • 2005-01-05 00540, 2005

      • ruaok
        don redman is looking into it.
      • 2005-01-05 00507, 2005

      • cikkolata
        ah
      • 2005-01-05 00515, 2005

      • cikkolata
        DJKC: here?
      • 2005-01-05 00514, 2005

      • cikkolata
        bah
      • 2005-01-05 00549, 2005

      • cikkolata
        I added a resolution for the existing one and it still tells me it already exists
      • 2005-01-05 00516, 2005

      • DJKC
        cikkolata: in and out, but here at the moment
      • 2005-01-05 00523, 2005

      • cikkolata
        I was wondering if you knew anything about the other earth
      • 2005-01-05 00514, 2005

      • DJKC
        you realize how mystical that sounds? ^^;
      • 2005-01-05 00534, 2005

      • DJKC
        anyway,. I'm only vaguely familiar with the Japanese one and know nothing about the other one(s)

      • 2005-01-05 00527, 2005

      • yalaforge
        I had some trouble starting the server. Probably because of LinkType.pm or something

      • 2005-01-05 00541, 2005

      • djce
        How's AR coming along? I gave it a quick test drive a few days ago, it looked very promising.
      • 2005-01-05 00503, 2005

      • djce
        Are you trying to fire up your own AR server, yalaforge ?
      • 2005-01-05 00504, 2005

      • yalaforge
        I have no idea. I'm at home with a slow modem connection

      • 2005-01-05 00547, 2005

      • yalaforge
        my dev box has AR up and running
      • 2005-01-05 00505, 2005

      • yalaforge
        at least in the state it was a few weeks ago
      • 2005-01-05 00510, 2005

      • djce
        cool. My box has two or three mb_servers in various states of disassembly :-/
      • 2005-01-05 00550, 2005

      • yalaforge
        I've got two copies for each feature I'm working on
      • 2005-01-05 00502, 2005

      • yalaforge
        it's confusing :-(
      • 2005-01-05 00502, 2005

      • djce
        Yeah. I forget what I've got on the boil at the moment. Well a rather cold boil actually - it's been a while since I hacked on the serverv.

        That was before my first PC. My first PC was about 1997. It was Acorn before that.

        I'd like to announce the non-profit and see if we can hold the aforementioned fundraiser at the end of jan/mid fed.
      • 2005-01-05 00544, 2005

      • ruaok
        feb.
      • 2005-01-05 00553, 2005

      • ruaok
        AR should be rolled out before then.
      • 2005-01-05 00504, 2005

      • ruaok
        the metabrainz site needs to be live and complete before then.
      • 2005-01-05 00512, 2005

      • ruaok
        at right around then.
      • 2005-01-05 00524, 2005

      • djce
        is the meb site basically static?
      • 2005-01-05 00528, 2005

      • ruaok
        I'm shooting to have a near final version of AR on test.mb.org come monday.
      • 2005-01-05 00558, 2005

      • ruaok
        meb. no. its mostly a copy of mb, but all the perl modules live in MetaBrainz::Server and no global modules.
      • 2005-01-05 00507, 2005

      • ruaok
        its coexisting on the test without problems.
      • 2005-01-05 00535, 2005

      • ruaok
        the two sites will be very similar to each other and thus the internal structure is near identical.
      • 2005-01-05 00549, 2005

      • ruaok
        most of the hard work for meb is done. more static content is required.
      • 2005-01-05 00556, 2005

      • ruaok
