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.
