In the past, the '''Style Dude''' was the the person who oversaw questions of "style," defined as pretty much anything to do with how the data about music is presented and stored in the database. Typical issues are the correct way to capitalize titles, how information about featured artists should be presented, and so forth. |
|||
[[MusicBrainz]] had two Style Dudes, the first being [[User:NeilCafferkey|NeilCafferkey]], who held the job from somewhere in 2001 (at least!) until [[User:TarragonAllen|TarragonAllen]] took over in 2004. Tarragon resigned in 2005 and it became clear that the job of style dude had grown beyond the job of one person. |
|||
'''Now there is a [[Style Council|StyleCouncil]], which has taken over the role of the Style Dude''' and eliminated the need for a gender-neutral version of the position (Style Dudette, anyone?). |
|||
After a period of slight anarchy concerning the [[Featuring Artist Style Alternative|FeaturingArtistStyleAlternative]], Tarragon temporarlily became Style Dude again from 11/2005 to 01/2006. |
|||
Since 01/2006 the [[Style Council|StyleCouncil]] has two 'dudey' positions: a secretary and an Elder. See the page about the [[Style Council|StyleCouncil]] for details. |
