MusicBrainz Wiki Installed

[Robert Kaye]

Hey everyone!

I really like the idea of the Wiki, and I think it could really help us
keep our notes and ideas straight as well as letting more people take
part in the creative process. So, for that initial reason, I've
installed the usemod Wiki (as suggested by Johan):

  http://www.musicbrainz.org/cgi-bin/wiki/wiki.pl?HomePage

I've started with a few default pages about data and capitalization
issues. I've included Tom's (IMHO great) capitalization proposal. We
should make changes to that page as we refine the proposal.

If you need a detailed introduction to the Wiki concept, please check
out:

But, my biggest hope for the Wiki is not to keep our discussion notes in
order; I think the Wiki concept is capable of a lot more! I think we
will be able to allow people to write and maintain music reviews (artist
biographies, album reviews, etc.) in the Wiki. The idea of trying to
store an Artist biography in the database and then opening the
review/modification up for a public is not pretty. I have not come up
with any realistic solutions for that problem, other than the Wiki.

Music Reviews (or a start thereof) can be found here:

This will give me something to do while I'm stuck at my Mom's place for
5 days over xmas. :-)

In any case, comments and feedback are welcome as usual!
