Template Toolkit branch - a call for read only testing

[Oliver Charles-2]

Hi folks!

Good news - my Template Toolkit branch has continued to progress, and I
feel I'm now ready to get some feedback off people. So - this is where
you come in!

I've been working mainly on the read-only interface of the website. By
read-only, I mean that any users can read the data - regardless of being
logged in or not. Broadly speaking, that means searching, viewing
artists/releases/etc, reading documentation - those kind of activities.

I have set the branch up on my main server, and would find it really
helpful if you could spend some time doing some searches for your
favourite/most awkward data, and make sure that every thing looks
correct - and that all links work.

You can find this test branch at:

http://test.musicbrainz.org

I'm not brilliant at configuring servers, so if it breaks - please let
me know! Hopefully it should stay up though :-)

Here's how I think you can provide the best information:

Regarding bugs and other quirks, try and file issues as concisely as you
can at our bug tracker [http://bugs.musicbrainz.org]. MB have been kind
enough to set up a report for me on there (it's report 34 on that
landing page), so as long as you file the bug with the component set to
"MusicBrainz Server (TemplateToolkit)" - I'll get these. Assigning the
bug to me is also helpful :-)

Don't worry about what you're filing a bug about, I can sort that out.
But for now, just getting feedback is critical before I trudge on with
the editing pages.

Please make sure you have a scan through the list first to make sure
you're not duplicating a bug. I am aware of some issues, which I'll be
working on in the background as this server undergoes your ruthless
testing. I'll try and refresh the server in about a week, once I've
fixed all the outstanding issues.

So - get testing! :D

Can you point to a wiki page/email/... that describes the goal of TT?
I want to test but need to know what to test for ;)

Ah, well test is now running Niklas' discographics branch - so that's
not quite what you want :)

I need to speak with Rob/Lukas about the status of having multiple
test servers - then I'll get back to you on this ;) The last batch of
testing gave me what I needed - but I'll be sure to write a wiki page
describing testing, so hopefully I deploy it a little better than last
time.

Thanks!

As you've read in another mail, I want that too ;)
