Reply To: JoCo Concert Stats 2008
Thanks for letting us know what it takes Ben. As a programmer, I find it a lot easier for the person to tell me what to do than to actually implement it, so I apologize for being the guy on the other end of the fence for this one.
I will say that it’s not like it was very difficult to “fix” the issues that happened the first time: I’d much rather have the appropriate links in the setlist section, and then remove their intrusion afterwards (like the two instances of “JoCo” or “Molly”). We accept a wiki as a constant garden in need of trimming, that’s part of the responsibility (I, at least, I don’t mean to speak for the other mods) take when we volunteered. I don’t mind cleaning up after the bot after it’s done the much harder to do by hand work.
To the group: Do we really think the song number in the set is that important? I mean, yeah it’s interesting to note the time(s) Re Your Brains wasn’t played last, but it’s eventually going to get buried in a pile. I don’t think it’s that important in comparison to the amount of work it sounds like Ben has to do, both in terms of programming and “page cleaning”.
