Hi, folks! I'm glad to take on the role of style leader, and I hope it will serve to get the style process moving in a good way, and cut down the tangle of unresolved issues in the ClassicalStyleGuide.
If you want to contact me in my role as Style Leader, you can reach me via the http://musicbrainz.org/show/user/?userid=363367 contact link on my MB user page . I agreed with RobertKaye that the first order of business is to take a look at our present style process. We want to see what works and should be kept, and what needs changing. The process by which we'll do this review isn't defined yet, except that it will start with a small group working on it (per http://lists.musicbrainz.org/pipermail/musicbrainz-style/2008-July/007011.html RobertKaye's mb-style message of Jul 11 ), and will involve a community review via the mb-style list. So don't worry about something vile being snuck in. The timing I'm aiming for is that this take weeks not months. I've started a page to organise this project, and communicate to you about it, at http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/StyleCouncil/August2008ProcessReview . Check it out. Robert and I are actively recruiting a few MB participants to work on this review. If you'd like to volunteer, please add your name and MB user name on that wiki page. Jim will let you know if you are accepted. We have to keep the group small to make it manageable. Don't worry, there will be a chance for everyone on mb-style to take a look at what we come up with before it's carved in (stone? vinyl? polycarbonate?). If you have thoughts about the current process which you want to toss in the hopper, I'd like to hear them. Send me a private message, or post them to the appropriate section of the wiki page above. I'd encourage you not to reply to the mb-style list unless you think it's of general interest. Thanks, everyone. ----- -- http://jdlh.com/ Jim DeLaHunt , Vancouver, Canada • http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/JimDeLaHunt -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Call-for-volunteers-and-thoughts-on-style-process-tp18866437s2885p18866437.html Sent from the Musicbrainz - Style mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
