Moin, Admins,

1) I uploaded two tracks for Anke's "New Hope for Africa", but they both landed in "Justaloud Sawubona Contest: Africa " - the wrong project! Please move to her project.

2) One of the tracks, "Ewe African Drums ", is now only a 5 seconds stub - instead of around 2 minutes. Upload time had been as expected... => will upload it a second time.

3) Anke's Song is in two identically names projects, where the first only contains a dead ffilestub (which sometimes also lands as a dead stub in Sawubona player....)

4) One general issue: Inside (!) a project there is no "upload" button any more - even when you navigate back from track over project to song. Only the general overview over all projects has a button "Upload tracks for this project".

5) When in "Add Track" screen, the Project dropdown list is too narrow - in this case for Anke's song you simply have to guess,

6) Time from "submit" to "approve" was once more fairly long (22.-26.08.)
OK you have overload - still it is difficult for the collaborative discussion - for days you have to talk about new ideas in an uploaded track the other one cannot see/hear yet....

Hi Carsten,

just took care of issues 1, 2 and 3 and we are working on the rest.

CU around.
Thanks, Kalina & Team,

alas - just having further trouble:

Tried to open a new Project for the a capella part of Ouma to upload all tracks.
=> Open a project is surprizingly to be done by uploading a FILE to "new project"
=> As long as this file hasn't passed review, the new project is unvisible
=> Hence it is not possible to upload further files to this new project
=> This is odd since we will have to return after approval to that project to load up the rest, so we suffer from twice the approval time till other can join in, and creativity process is interrupted
=> Further irritation comes from "Open new Project"-Button, which opens the track upload dialog instead, with no signs fo new projects as long as you select "choose project: New project".

Suggestions:
++ Split Project definition from track upload dialoge
++ When doing so it would be nice if all attributes of song would be asked here only, not in track upload
++ Again, rethink approval strategy: As long as members ar able to upload files to discussions, or simply upload tracks to "My Page"-player, this is simply ennerving you'll have to wait such a long time till other can see it!
++ Uploaded File for Anke's song 1 week ago (!!!) - still no approval!
++ I further suggest to put priority to this issue, since this is project core functions

cd review

by Norman DarwenThe first four tracks encapsulate Arkansas-born Billy Jones. ...a wicked, raw, live version of Albert King's 'Personal Manager', 'my Hometown', a bleak, stark portrayal of the ghetto set to a busy but laid-back and bluesy musical commentary that epitomizes what some have defined as his "gangsta bluez" (...though it is perhaps even better on 'Ain't Good Lookin'), the rocking, rollicking, down-home, and subtly Howling Wolf inflected 'Blues Comes Callin'' and the bluesy/ reggae…See More
