Policy for reviews of artists, politicians, etc.
by Erik Moeller
There's a discussion on our GitHub repo about the policy on reviews
for living people as it pertains to artists, politicians, and other
notable individuals. Currently we have a blanket ban of reviews of
human beings. Should we poke holes/exemptions into that ban, or
clarify it by way of examples?
In the spirit of generally keeping a discussion going in whatever
location it was started, if you have thoughts on this topic, I'd
appreciate your input here:

List is back up; project updates
by Erik Moeller
Hi folks,
You're getting this mail because you subscribed to the https://lib.reviews
mailing list a while ago. lib.reviews is a free/open project for reviewing
absolutely anything. The list was down for a bit, but it's back up now.
We're now using Mailman 3, which also has a fancy web interface, which you
can find here:
https://lists.freeculture.org/
This was a bit of a bear to set up, and there may still be hiccups --
please let me know if anything isn't working correctly. To send mail to the
list, email lib.reviews(a)freeculture.org . To reply to the list, make sure
to "reply-all".
lib.reviews itself is coming along nicely. In case you haven't followed our
development progress, in the past few months we launched the following
major features:
1) full-text search, powered by ElasticSearch
2) a visual editor, powered by ProseMirror
3) support for reviewing items that have an entry in Wikidata
Coming up next will be major work on the API, more fields to describe
review subjects, and OpenStreetMap integration. Once that's done we'll
shift towards moderation features, integration with other sites, and
getting rid of the invite code requirement.
If you have a chance to review a book, movie, piece of software, or
anything else, please consider doing so on lib.reviews, so it becomes part
of a free/open repository -- and please give feedback about what works &
doesn't :-)
As a reminder, development takes place on GitHub (
https://github.com/eloquence/lib.reviews ) and is mirrored to the free/open
notabug repository ( https://notabug.org/freeyourstuff/lib.reviews ).
Warmly,
Erik
