Hello everybody,
I'm going to make a point of getting the delete functions done this weekend so you'll be able to delete things you've added. In the process, I'm going to be making it so you can only edit things you've added. I haven't really run into problems, but as the site has grown I've realized how difficult it would be to manage as time goes on. I'll also add a page with everyone's email addresses (only viewable by us, not the visitors) so you can contact each other if you see an omission or an error.
Once those are done, my next goal is to do duplicate checking (if you add a musician, label, whatever, and it finds an entry in the database already, it will prompt you to see if they are the same thing or just 2 things with the same name). After that, I'm going to follow through on somebody's suggestion (sorry I don't remember who) for a sort of search field when looking up musicians (as you type into the box, it will scroll the list to the first entry that matches what you've typed). This should alleviate some of the tediousness of looking for musicians in that list (it's over 1000 people now). Then, some of the other features I've been promising.
Sorry I haven't been able to finish some of these sooner. Keep the suggestions coming.
Thanks,
Greg.
