I hate to say it, but adding a new page to our 1,000 pages is not going to get anyone to read “we don’t store music”

Creating a new page where everything is explained clearly is a good solution for the kinds of minds that edit MusicBrainz, not for the kind of people that freak out and write dumbass takedown emails before looking at MB properly. It should probably be in the footer, but (and it hurts to say this) it probably still won’t get read by these people

Source: A couple of years putting increasingly giant signage in the Library, and having people still ask the same question, standing next to the sign :(

aerozol[m]: yes, sort of. first , we need to define what "fair" is. and the researchers will do that at length. then we can measure a playlist to see how fair it is and then we can think about making playlists that are fair. but that is going to be *really* challenging.

Yeah, really interesting. Even defining it will be interesting. re. the result, I would tune into these playlists!!

Even if it’s not perfect

I dont have high hopes.

I sure hope it doesn't come down to pleasant vs fair

jasje: you must be BUSY, you didn’t jump at the chance to rip into my app mockups :P (I did always appreciate it, even if the changes weren’t always made, btw!)

the gender stats shouldn't be too hard to calculate. good idea!

meeting notes re hetzner abuse, fyi: “Discussion ensues re. making a separate page, with a few comments that it wont get read anyway. @rob will work on the page, to have something crystal clear to point to - even if those people don’t read it in time.”
