We’re planning to apply for Google’s new documentation-for-open-source project, Google Season of Docs. For that we need to have a decent bunch of project ideas by the 23rd, about what kind of documentation work we need in different MetaBrainz projects.
If you have some good ideas on what kind of documentation would be helpful (both for possible developers and for completely non-technical users!) for a specific project, don’t hesitate to either let us know here, or post something under the appropriate ideas page on the wiki.
Explicit documentation about how to integrate an audio scrobbling tool with ListenBrainz is highly valuable. I think this information exists across a few different resources, but creating a guide or walkthrough is helpful.
I thought this program was a one-year thing and didn’t exist anymore, but it seems it does and it has run every year since, huh. I honestly don’t remember at all what happened with it in 2019. I’ll ask around and see if someone does.
That said, I can only imagine in 2025 this would be a horrible disaster where 90% of the proposals would be people asking LLMs to do the work for them. It’s already getting bad with Summer of Code and that’s not text…
Edit: @rob confirmed that we were indeed rejected when we applied in 2019. The first round was quite small and only a few orgs were selected. After that we just never bothered again.
Would be great! There’s a lot of API binding generators out there so it would make life easier for the users.
Well… As long as the required returned fields are set correctly. The LB one has everything set as optional… Can’t trust anything…
