===On my Radar===

The following things are on my radar as issues that need to be addressed, features that I want to hack on, or chocolate that needs to be earned:
* Work on the next generation schema work for MusicBrainz
* Work on creating a stable development team that continue working on mb_server, while I focus on hosting and the business side of [[MusicBrainz]].

Of course, this list is in no particular order.

RobertKaye is Ruaok, also known as the Mayhem & Chaos Coordinator.

I'm the person responsible for starting this project when Gracenote pissed me off when they took the freely available CDDB project and closed it up and started charging people for accessing the data. It was people like me who built this data in the first place and I felt violated. Thus the motivation for MusicBrainz was born.

I'm nearly certain that this is not the right forum for these posts, but I'm not certain where to put them just yet. For now, I'll create sub-pages that will be linked from here.
