Current Proposals
This page is an attempt to list all 'current' or 'active' proposals. Often, proposals do reach some sort of consensus, but are never followed up on, the goal of this page is to keep track of those proposals so they are not forgotten, and can be revisited at the appropriate time.
Formal RFCs on the StyleMailingList are tracked here. Other proposals found in the wiki have also been added. It looks like the RFC/RFV process is also in use on the UsersMailingList -- these still need to be added.
Disclaimer: this is not an automated list, but I will try to keep it up to date. If you think some information is out of date or incorrect, notify me (warp on irc, or kuno@frob.nl) and I will look into it (or, change it yourself, this is a wiki :).

RFC: change video game data cdroms from soundtrack to other
Discussion has probably died out, needs to be summarized.
RFC: new vocal type - "rap"
consensus, waiting for RFV.
RFC: ClassicalReleaseLanguage
Out of the people who voiced their opinion on this proposal, Alex Dupuy doesn't see the need for it and Olivier is not in favour. I assume this proposal has been abandoned due to lack of support.
RFC: Classical works for multiple instruments
Only three people participated in the discussion, with no clear support for the proposal. I expect the author has abandoned the proposal, but please correct me if I am wrong --kuno.
RFC: Change Default Data Quality
No consensus was reached on the actual proposal in its original form. However, a lot of valuable suggestions were made by various people, the proposal should probably be rewritten to take those suggestions into account and resubmitted as an RFC.
(IMO, DonRedman has an insightful post on the proposal. --kuno).
RFC: Adding {instrument} and {vocals} to 'Recorded By' AR
Discussion died, no clear consensus reached as far as i can see. No summary of the discussion.
RFC: "changed name to" AR
In general, people seemed to be in favour of this proposal -- but concerned that the AR will be abused to split up artists which wouldn't be split up without the AR. The discussion died out, wasn't summarized or otherwise followed up later.
RFC: Reissue Produced By" and "Compilation Produced By
No discussion took place. No further action was taken.
RFC: performance dates and locations
Discussion has died on the MailingList and died or slowed down on the wiki pages. I don't see a clear consensus yet on the implementation details.
No discussion took place. No further action was taken.
RFC: Conductor AR Changes
Discussion died. There seem to be no objections to the proposal, however the discussion was not summarized nor do I see an RFV for the proposal.
RFV: "has a blog at" AR
No vetoes on the RFV, but not implemented yet afaics.
RFC: IMDb AR change
No discussion took place. No further action was taken.
RFC: Bad Terminology: bootleg
Apparently enough consensus was reached to prepare the wiki for changes: http://lists.musicbrainz.org/pipermail/musicbrainz-style/2007-May/004841.html , but looking at the history, no actual changes were made.
RFC: New Release Status: "Upcoming"
Consensus reached according to http://lists.musicbrainz.org/pipermail/musicbrainz-style/2007-May/004726.html , see also http://lists.musicbrainz.org/pipermail/musicbrainz-style/2007-May/004840.html . No further work seems to have been done on this after the initial consensus was reached.
Related activity: NotYetReleasedReleases
Also, I think the issue of upcoming releases was also discussed on the style mailinglist within the context of Data Quality (setting upcoming releases to low data quality), but cannot find the thread right now --kuno.
x (disc 1) & x (disc 2), vs x & x (bonus disc)
The proposed changes to BonusDisc were first discussed and written in may 2006, amended in september 2006, and a call for further discussion in may 2007 (with no responses). Some issues raised in the september discussion and on the wiki page haven't been addressed by the proposal.
Comments
This is a great page. But why under your personal page? You should put all this stuff in CurrentWork (you can move the ancient cruft on that page out of the way). @alex
- I'm still working on it, and discussing with the folks in IRC. For example, luks suggested style issues should be separated from feature requests, and I agree with that. So, for the time being, it should stay here as MY thing :). I'll move it a more appropriate place in a few weeks. --kuno.
