Revision as of 15:45, 24 April 2008

Hey, Spiff, thanks for all your help with the wiki so far! (And thanks even more for your awesome videos!) As you've seen, it's all still work-in-progress, and there's a lot of stuff that really needs to be there, like better editing guidelines, etc. I'd really appreciate it if you'd drop me a line if there's anything you run into problems with -- if you need help, it's gotta be a pretty serious problem, and we had better get on it.
I'm also here to solicit your opinion on the "Fan Projects" page. There's a bit of a question over whether it should include every fan video ever made, or if not, what kind of test to use to determine what gets to stay and what has to go. I'd be really grateful for your thoughts. To see what's been said so far, and to add your thoughts, see the discussion for that page. --Bry 00:54, 24 April 2008 (EDT)

Spiff, I know you asked Bry about the "Themes" section, but I figured since I saw it, I'd go ahead and offer my 2 cents: Themes are an attempt at grouping songs by some sort of topic. Obviously, My Monkey and Code Monkey both have a theme of Monkeys, for example. It's going to get sloppy before it gets organized, because we have no current suggested list of themes to group them under, but eventually it may be a nice way to say "Hrm, I really like Shop Vac. I wonder what other songs Jonathan have also done that may be about Suburbia."

Hope this helps. Oh, and you should go ahead and put something about yourself on the User Page tab of this page: You're important, dude! :D --MitchO 15:42, 24 April 2008 (EDT)
