History:Style Council/August 2008 Process Review

The StyleCouncil/August2008ProcessReview is a project to get the MusicBrainz StyleCouncil process unstuck and moving smoothly. It consists of work by a small group of interested MusicBrainz contributors and MusicBrainz leaders, followed by a community review and endorsement. StyleCouncil leader JimDeLaHunt leads the project.

Rationale and Philosphy

Two mb-style postings give an idea why we're doing this project:

• RobertKaye's mb-style message of Fri Jul 11 06:42:33 UTC 2008
• JimDeLaHunt's mb-style message of Fri Jul 25 07:01:37 UTC 2008

Participants

Jim and Robert are recruiting a few MB participants to work on this review. If you'd like to volunteer, please add your name and MB user name here. Jim will let you know if you are accepted. We have to keep the group small to make it manageable.

• JimDeLaHunt, StyleCouncil leader, leader of this project
• RobertKaye, elder of MusicBrainz

Prospects:

• (add your name here by typing 3 spaces, a *, then @SIG@, which substitutes your name and a timestamp)

Process

Process isn't defined yet, except that it will start with a small group working on it (per RobertKaye's mb-style message of Jul 11), and will involve a community review via the mb-style list. So don't worry about something vile being snuck in.

Timing: This project is starting on August 6, 2008. How long it will take is not clear, except that it will be weeks not months.
