[mb-style] NGS guidelines
Hello, As you probably know, Kuno and I have been working on adapting the guidelines for NGS. We wanted to finish before sending an email, but it's getting rather late (sorry), so I figured something is better than nothing... By the way, the idea is that these guidelines will become official with NGS and then people can change them as they would any other guideline if they want to. We don't want a repeat of the release group situation (still no official guidelines, two years on...) You can see what we have right now here - http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/User:kuno/Style For the most part, we've not been trying to change guidelines, except where things are added or change because of NGS. Many of the pages have comments by me in 【brackets like these】 with some explanations. Obviously they will be removed. We've tried to incorporate all of the current official guidelines. Disc Number Style and Box Set Name Style will be deprecated, for hopefully obvious reasons (we may need new guidelines for box sets once people have had chance to try entering them in NGS). Live Track Style, Featuring Artist Style and Versus Style still haven't been incorporated. If any other official pages are missing, please let us know.

Re: [mb-style] NGS guidelines
Hello, I wanted to discover the new NGS style guideline... In my first page read http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/User:kuno/Style/Track_and_release_titles, there are some problems... About the examples for capitalization: confusion the waitress is not in lower-cases in MB but follows the English rules ( http://musicbrainz.org/search/textsearch.html?type=trackquery=confusion+the+waitresshandlearguments=1 ) and the problem of artistIntent always raise !! The first multi-lines example is not so clear too in MB ( http://musicbrainz.org/release/aee61e32-40bf-43ad-b5ee-a7a6572e69a3.html ), we find Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates instead of the example. The main title all-in-caps is here considered because it is a Japanese release but the justification to keep this capitalization is discussable... and it is the same about the use or not of Original Soundtrack. It is better to use clear examples that match with the MB database records.

Re: [mb-style] NGS guidelines
I forgot to mention the third example in multi-lines The actual title of the release is This Is the Modern World / All Mod Cons instead of This is the Modern World and All Mod Cons: The two songs are separated by a slash following the general rules even if on the cover there is a and and the English capitalization is applied Is and not is.

If any other official pages are missing, please let us know. Is this just due to lack of time? I think any discussion to drop/change these needs discussion and, personally, I'd prefer we avoided doing it at the same time as the move to NGS. That's going to cause enough change on its own.
