General Information Project - who's with me?

Post by vinteuil »

I've decided that a new kind of community project is in order: a cleanup project (yes, it's sort of cheesy). Who else wants to volunteer to clean up the general information boxes on our work pages? (aside from P.Davydov ;).
This would probably entail recategorizing miscategorized works, redoing instrumentation, adding date of first publication in some cases (i.e. Brahms, where it's on the page anyways).
Update: We need to add keys now, too.

These are the details people expect to be there and correct, but nobody wants/has the desire to actually fill in. I'd bet there are some lurkers willing to help for a few minutes here and there if there were some clear guidance of pages/composers to look at. I wish I had a good suggestion for how to farm out this work without that taking more time than doing the actual work. Most of my suggestions require code changes that I'm sure aren't trivial so here's another: keep a list of all pages and check them off once they're looked at and double-checked by a couple people. This might be easiest to do after the info box is updated.

That's what I had planned. I've been starting this by myself, I was just wondering if anyone else was interested enough to make it a community project.

Should be empty for obvious reasons....

I would like to help with this, since I have been one of the complainants. However, I'm not in a country with cheap ADSL, so to download files, check instrumentation etc. might blow my cap. I will do what I can, and help with smaller files.

Great! One more person, and I think we can call it a project.
