Hi all,
I'm currently in programming school casting about for programming projects,
and I had the idea of a giant searchable contradance database, where you
can filter by move combination, etc.
My question: is this something people would be interested in having? Or
does it run the risk of infringing on intellectual property, or
shortchanging dance writers on book sales, etc.? (Obviously no dances would
be included without the author's permission, but it may be that making a
huge ton of dances freely available and searchable in one place online
would be a death blow to published books of dances, or have some other
negative effect I'm not foreseeing right now...)
Anyway: does anyone have any thoughts on this project?
Cheers,
Maia

I think this is a great idea, and the main non-technical limitation is
writing to lots of callers to get their permission to include their
dances. Several people have proposed something similar, but the
actual work of checking with lots of callers has been too daunting.

Actually a global contra dance database seems like a bad idea. Who will decide what
dances merit placement in the database?
A much better idea is for CDSS to maintain a web page with either copies of web page(s)
with authors' dances, somewhat like Cary Ravitz now does: http://ravitz.us/caller/
It would be best for CDSS to keep a copy of each composer's dances, so to preserve
them when the author dies.
Anyone could submit page(s) of dances, and CDSS would make no judgement as to the quality
of the dances.
One might want to set up a mechanism so an author can edit the pages with her/his dances
Visitors could then peruse any author's dances, and initiate discussion about specific
dances on a forum similar to this one.

Overall, this makes sense; however, remember that Maia is partly doing
this for programming practice. There's an old programmer saying: "Rough
consensus and running code," which means that working code trumps most
other considerations. I think your proposal runs the risk of having
nothing because people will spend time talking and talking and talking
and talking about it; if Maia's project pans out, she could (should!) be
encouraged to turn it over to CDSS to run and maintain it.

mechanism so an author can edit the pages with her/his dances Visitors
could then peruse any author's dances, and initiate discussion about
specific dances on a forum similar to this one.
The design discussion for these features is in many ways completely
different from the basic database design discussion, with all kinds of
security/privacy issues. They can be tacked on by competent programmers
more-or-less independently of the underlying database. I strongly
recommend skipping it for now.

My guess is a lot of people who write dances would be happy to contribute,
but trying to wrangle all the callers and dances does seem pretty daunting.
Presumably older dances are in the public domain, either by clearly defined
intellectual property laws or implicitly via the folk process. What if you
started out by adding a ton of chestnuts and other older dances, and then
when you had enough to show, you could open it up for people to contribute
their newer dances directly?

During the recent caller's survey, I think a database of dances was at
the top of the list of what online resource callers wanted.
There have been several attempts at creating a dance database over the
past decade-plus. They have all fizzled out, primarily for lack of
volunteers with sufficient drive, free time, and coding experience to
create such a beast.

The only way anyone could answer this question is if you save the message
so that the headers are preserved, then forward the saved message. It's
a complicated problem if you don't already have the background and may be
difficult to solve even with the background.
Most likely it's getting held as part of some kind of idiocy at Yahoo
(which is well-known for e-mail problems); second most likely is that
some kind of spam processing is holding it.
Thanks,

Hi Dave,
One idea: You might try expanding the header and then copying it to a
translation tool website. I've used this website with some success:
http://mxtoolbox.com/EmailHeaders.aspx
Gives you some insights where the delay occurs.

Last I heard, Nils Fredland was the person at CDSS associated with the

There are non-online versions that allow searching in various ways. You
might take a look at Caller's Companion http://callerscompanion.com to see
something already out there.

A more interesting programming task, and more useful, would be to design &
build a system that facilitated crowdsourcing dance definitions. You'd
want some kind of authentication and reputation tracking system, and
perhaps a lexography of dance moves for cataloguing -- although Peter
Norvig cites the "Unreasonable Effectiveness of Data", and he's been there
and done that for semantic analysis of language.
I wonder if CDSS would consider hosting such a system?
I presume you'd make it open source. No money to be had, I think.

Hi all,
I'm currently in programming school casting about for programming
projects, and I had the idea of a giant searchable contradance database,
where you can filter by move combination, etc.
My question: is this something people would be interested in having? Or
does it run the risk of infringing on intellectual property, or
shortchanging dance writers on book sales, etc.? (Obviously no dances would
be included without the author's permission, but it may be that making a
huge ton of dances freely available and searchable in one place online
would be a death blow to published books of dances, or have some other
negative effect I'm not foreseeing right now...)
Anyway: does anyone have any thoughts on this project?
Cheers,
Maia

Maia,
If you're not limited to a database project, you might consider a project of a more
graphical nature. It would useful to have an application that can interpret dance
instructions and generate a video of the dance.
There are 1 or 2 very simple ones out there, but graphics are poor and they have a limited
set of instructions.
Also, is this an assignment or otherwise something you want to do yourself. In other
words, would you be open to others assisting with this project.
