ToDo list

This is a list of ideas which are deemed either sorely needed, useful or interesting. If you're looking for something to help out with, look no further!

Royal pains in the arse

• Replace all instances of Image: with File:
• Use Template:Backto at the foot of each page
• Hunt for links to and bypass redirects

Layout and appearance

• Hunt artefacts visible with various layout engines and fix them
• Investigate recent CSS implementation, seeing whether any could be used to improve MuseWiki's appearance
• Wade through our templates and simplify/prettify if at all possible
• Investigate, design and implement a way of laying out media verification hash tables within pages
• Typographical students and those in the know: check whether our conventions are correct

Resources, searching and verification

• Scrape various media (anyone near a national library or a proficient human web-spider?) for press/coverage relating to Muse, add it to our reference archive
• Find circular references within MuseWiki articles, remove and provide rationale for doing so on the article's talk page.
• Get the official Muse board and Muselive to make sure topic IDs don't change. This is a real verification headache.
• Transcribe various audio and video interviews and add to our media reference archive.
• Anyone who knows a language other than English: translate foreign-language articles and add to our media reference archive.
• Use our reference archive to write and/or expand MuseWiki articles, adding references as appropriate.

Files

• Hunt authorship and source information for uploaded files, tell authors about creative commons and ask whether they'd be happy licensing under a CC licence (tres cool)
• Descriptions for files which currently have none

Gear

• Expand and clean up the gear section—particularly suited to musicians in the know.

Gigs

• For gigs you went to: add information. Please encourage others to do so as well!
• Make sure our links to recordings are up to date, add any that are missing.
• Use recordings to construct and complete speech tables.
  • Anyone who knows a language aside from English: transcribe and translate foreign speech.

Media

• Rescue videos from YouTube using youtube-dl, upload to DailyMotion and change links from MuseWiki to point to DailyMotion (to mitigate Warner f******y).

Codemonkey bananas

• Use HTML5 audio instead of the flash player for Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari
• Make references work for people who are not logged in
• TLS/SSL?
• Set up wiki bots for admins

Long-term

• Get each member of Muse to join and edit. Also known as "take over the world", with originality.
