I think this misrepresents what nikki and I have done. No major changes were made to the guidelines. In all cases where I wanted to remove a guideline or change a guideline I have posted an RFC to mb-style. What we did do is: 1. remove guidelines which no longer apply due to changes in NGS 2. add first versions of new guidelines for new elements of NGS 3. restructure everything so that it is no longer a jumble of tiny documents spread out over the wiki, but a set of guidelines with at least some structure to them. This whole process started in january 2010, and I think everyone has had enough time to participate in it or voice their objections. If you (or anyone else) think either nikki or I have not acted properly here I suggest you discuss that with ruaok. None of the new guidelines we've written are intended to be final. But we needed to have a starting point, and now that NGS has been release and everyone is using it, we have a better foundation to discuss all of this properly, and we can RFC/RFV any changes needed. -- kuno / warp. _______________________________________________ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
