History:Development/Sandbox

MusicBrainz has a sandbox server, called rika and accessible from subdomains of mbsandbox.org, where MusicBrainz contributors can request an account to show off their work and allow others to test it as part of the code review process.

NOT SET UP

potentially-needed updates

If your server is still running pre-Plack, ping ianmcorvidae to change your config to use FCGI

If you're missing dependencies, run 'carton install --deployment' and it'll likely be fixed
