OK folks, it's been a couple of weeks since anyone has added anything
to
http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/GettingRidOfFeaturingArtistStyleBecause I'm fed up with 'mo' dicking around with my moderations, I'd
like to try putting this to a (completely non-binding) vote, using the
Apache Lazy Concensus rules.
Reply to this thread, and simply say +1 if you agree, -1 if you
disagree, or a number in between if you're opinion is in between (see
bottom of this mail for examples). Also say if you're a member of the
Style Council, or just a mailinglist participant. Next Saturday
(12th), I'll tot-up the votes.
PROPOSAL: We change FeaturingArtistStyle to read: "When two or more
artists collaborate on a track or release, file the track/release
under the primary artist, and then add "performed on" relationships to
the secondary artists. If no artist can be considered secondary,
create a new artist in the form 'Artist 1 & Artist 2' and add
"collaborated on" relationships to the artists."
I vote +1, but I'm not a Style Council member.
Rod.

Expressing Votes: +1, 0, -1, and Fractions
The voting process in Apache may seem more than a little weird if
you've never encountered it before. Votes are represented as numbers
between -1 and +1, with '-1' meaning 'no' and '+1' meaning 'yes.'
The in-between values are indicative of how strongly the voting
individual feels. Here are some examples of fractional votes and ways
in which they might be intended and interpreted:
* +0: 'I don't feel strongly about it, but I'm okey with this.'
* -0: 'I won't get in the way, but I'd rather we didn't do this.'
* -0.5: 'I don't like this idea, but I can't find any rational
justification for my feelings.'
* ++1: 'Wow! I like this! Let's do it!'
* -0.9: 'I really don't like this, but I'm not going to stand in
the way if everyone else wants to go ahead with it.'
* +0.9: 'This is a cool idea and i like it, but I don't have
time/the skills necessary to help out.'
