The super special (lousy) shirt plan

Editors are by far MetaBrainz’ biggest and most irreplaceable resource.

They (you) spend countless hours entering data for free, be it for the love of music, to tidy their own collections and listen histories, to support their scenes, to archive historical and cultural data, to apply the cool and soothing editing brain-balm, or a combination of all of the above and more.

Some of the top editors have provided the backbone of MusicBrainz for years, decades, and often perform the more tedious data maintenance and checking tasks.

Code of Conduct overhaul

Hello!

Our Code of Conduct is probably over 10 years old and hasn’t had much of a review over time. I’ve heard various complaints about it in the past few months, so I’d like to start a general discussion about it:

  • What do you like about the current version?
  • What do you hate?
  • What is outdated and needs to be removed?
  • What is missing and should be added?
  • Do you even think that it needs an overhaul?

If you have any comments, please post them below. Your comments will determine my next actions on this project.

Thanks!
