OK, I think I know how I'd go about adding a page... I just dunno where it should go, really.

I also don't know if anyone would object to it, or if anyone other than me would even think it a decent idea...

sorry, I've got no idea

I just saw http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=1177887 , thought it was quite funny, and thought it'd be kinda nice to have a list of humourous notes somewhere ;)

a bit of fun can't hurt... and if ppl don't like it they can always get rid of it

HMA's first comment really. Not the whole lot.

:-)

There's also the matter of whether people would mind having their notes quoted...

everything entered via the website is either public domain or CC

so if you don't want to be quoted, don't enter moderation notes

CC?

creative commons. yet another license

Ah.

I've never known what any licenses mean, really.

yalaforge: you're right, but we should still strive to be polite

I just let other people deal with that stuff.

It's too confusing.

but i don't think there is any harm in it

jellyfish: yup. but after all it's a wiki. anyone can remove their stuff if they want to

quite

is MB actually getting any income from http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/wiki.pl?AmazonMatching yet?

no, we're not yet allowed to earn money via amazon

until the non-profit is set up?

yup

isee

but that's almost done, AFAIK

Who will get money and where will it go? On new hardware for MB?

Or can I get a regular income by submitting data to MB? ;p

the metabrainz foundation will get the money

and the money is usually spent on hardware

Right. So... what's the metabrainz foundation?

that's an umbrella project. musicbrainz is currently the only part of it

Oh. So confusing...

All these licenses and projects and stuff.

you get used to it :-)

that's why the lawyers take care of it :)

right

I just try to avoid it as much as possible...

bdw, all speding/income is published here: http://www.musicbrainz.org/finances.html

"Money earmarked for non-profit"?

setting up a non-profit org. isn't cheap

But what does "Money earmarked for non-profit" mean?

it means that this money isn't available for other things. it's reserved for non-profit set up fees

Um... OK.

Hmm... I can't do a freedb import.

I click the link, and just get the top frame, not the bottom one with the actual freedb site in :(

Weird. The freedb site doesn't work, but I can look up albums through fb or import if I already know the genre / id

djce: hey!

hi

its a wxPython application running with libtunepimp/libmusicbrainz.

yup.

album oriented and cross platform.

I'm hoping to have another alpha release out later today.
