Thread Name: Tech: Digital Tradition Programmer Needed
Subject: RE: Tech: Digital Tradition Programmer Needed
Let's face it, one problem with the Digital Tradition was that such a large collection of lyrics by necessity involved contributions from many people, some of whom provided sets of words which were misheard, incorrectly ordered or otherwise mistaken. The process of simply correcting such errors is I am sure, a mammoth task in itself. Setting a large number of people onto a task is not necessarily an effective answer. Small focussed teams usually do a better job (too many cooks DO spoil the broth).
Correcting ONE central source as part of the ongoing process of updating in general makes much more sense. Keep up the good work, Dick and Susan.
Quack!
