Well, I don't think I can give you a satisfactory answer.
It takes time to develop software, and there are only a handful of
people working on the server. With dozens of people screaming for new
features, we work on the things that get the most screams. I've been
hearing about this issue for months now, yet there are some issues
I've been hearing about for years. Which one should I work on first?
Your pet hate that is 6 months old or someone elses pet hate that is
3 years old?
Your screams make it move higher to the top of the list, but that
still only lets me work 50-60 hours a week on MusicBrainz. This is an
open source software project, and that means that if you really care
about a feature that YOU start hacking on it. Complaining about
things not getting done without actually doing things yourself is not
very useful, I'm afraid.
As for what is on the radar at MusicBrainz? Take a look at the
emerging agenda for Summit 7:
http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/MusicBrainzSummit7There are a lot of tricky things in that list. A lot of things that
people have been screaming for. I have high hopes that with Lukas and
Stefan doing more hacking on the server that we can pick up the pace
and start nailing a few of these issues sooner than later.
