Media library management app

The current application for the management of our media library is very outdated. There are plans to replace it with a web application with more advanced functionality.

As jurež and me are the ones working on this, I can give a few details:

• It's being developed as a web application, mainly to make it platform independent and remotely accessible. The functionality is simple enough that this isn't really a limitation of any kind.
• The application is (being) built with Tonic on the back end and AngularJS on the front end.
• We had long conversations about the design of the user interface and managed to decide on a few important points (with input from Jaka Špiler, who was managing the media library at the time). I think they are solid enough for the first release, after that we can make modifications based on user feedback.
• The database will require restructuring to allow for advanced relations (an artist changing his name throughout his career, artists being in multiple groups, compilation releases etc.). This means that we will definitely need to do some manual work to get the old data in shape. We tried this for the problem of duplicated artist names by creating a "game" and the results were brilliant.

I will look for any documentation we have created and try to get the current source code on GitHub.
