Agenda

Please add items to the agenda you'd like to discuss:

  • State of the project and the non-profit
  • Get to understand AdvancedRelationships. How do the new DB possibilities of n-n relations between the tables affect
    • the overall database structure (e.g. What is the function of the primary artist field?)
    • the searching functionality (e.g. Which ARs should be queried when searching for an artist name?)
    • the reorganization of the user interface (i.e. display of the data onthe website)
    • the PicardTagger
    • The RDF schema and the protocols by which clients and server communicate.

Find solutions for current problems around this issue (e.g. the despised FeaturingArtistStyle), prioritize work on this.

  • Adding Events and Labels to AR (AdvancedEntity).
  • Discuss album rework proposal (to add UPC/EAN, ISRC codes; ReleaseDataSet)
  • Generalization of album/track/artist concept (ReleaseGroups, abstract albums/tracks + album/track grouping for AR and better representation, also AdvancedEntity)
  • TRM/fingerprinting status, plan for removal/improvment
  • PicardTagger:
    • When will it be ready to do what? How will this affect the rest of MusicBrainz (resources, growth,...)
    • Expanding the tagging process:
      • make more use of the data in the db (for example put info from AR into ID3 fields, like "is a cover of"->original performer)
      • support a scripting language to allow individual user defined tagging preferences (put all words upper case, put this value in that field, move those files in that directory)
  • Expanding the data set to include subjective information (folksonomy, reviews, etc.):
    • Do we want that?
    • How would it work? (Would it work at all?)
    • How and when to implement what.
  • Think very generally about the growth of MusicBrainz: What changes will be required to manage that, and to prevent chaos? (FAQ-O-Matic, WikiDocs, Nabble or Forums, Social statistics [like rating of artists' and editors' matureness by 0-5 stars], usage info from the Tagger,...)
  • Prioritize desired features for the next year
