I'm an AutoEditor and a regular poster to the MailingList. My MusicBrainz username is Editor:ZeroGravitas.

I'm currently working on the WikiMigrationBot.

I'm a C++ programmer, and I've been meaning learn a bit more perl and SQL so I can have a go at some MusicBrainzDevelopment.

When I've got a working dev server my first project will probably be some sort of EditFieldDiff change highlighting (RFE 985861) for the EditArtistNameEdit, EditTrackNameEdit, EditReleaseNameEdit, EditArtistAliasEdit etc. EditTypes.

• String::ShowDiff could be useful?

This would logically develop to include a MergeReleaseDiffTool (RFE 870558).

I'll add this to CurrentWork when I've actually started working on it!

Keeping an eye on
