I honestly get tired of the constant demand to discuss this stuff to death.
I see stating your views, and then letting it get refined. Often times it goes much past stating viewpoints and more to whining. I feel it truly is those who put the effort into the community that should have a say as to how things go. That doesn't mean, that number of votes at the top, or that count of wiki you've edited, or the number of lines of code, or the thousand (I wish) dollars you contributed. It simply means, those that work toward solutions and making mb work should and often times do have a bit more weight in discussions, which to me seems very right. I may have misstated it, or misrepresented that point of view, and for that I do apologize. I feel if people want to have a larger say, they should become more involved.. more toward the solution. I've been very open about this too. Sometimes it seems to step on toes. That as well I am sorry about. :( Can't win 'em all. :) Nyght aka Beth -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stefan Kestenholz Sent: Monday, June 19, 2006 3:56 PM To: MusicBrainz style discussion Subject: Re: [mb-style] "(album version)" 1) the style council does not exist, for a long time now already. everybody who speaks here (except rob and don) are community members like everybody else. 2) the reason i wrote that statement before is because jan said "if i had a say here" which, if you read between the lines, speaks for a frustration with the ongoing processes to always take the discussions on tangents rather than discussing towards a solution which satisfies the majority of member of the community. 3) now if you take my statement literally, it does not do the issue justice. if you look at the big picture, the major contributor idea is not related to the number of edits a person made. its just a side-effect for the big commitment someone undoubtfully has for the project. why does everbody back down suddenly on the meritocracy aspect, 2 weeks ago there was a consensus that this is how MB works.
