What's needed for a submission? #1

Q: How do I submit data?

All of the current raw data used to build the site is in its own github repo (https://github.com/lfoust/thediscdb-data) and I plan on taking pull requests to that repo. As you can see, the commits for one title contain several different files (example commit: https://github.com/lfoust/thediscdb-data/commit/e552220daf612470c5cbd13c5c7b7efd43e6a9a1) so I may work to simplify that (or at least come up with a minimum of what is required) I think the absolute minimum for each title would be the makemkv logs for each disc (disc.txt) and the summary file which maps out which titles are which (disc-summary.txt). Also the metadata for the release (release.json). I could generate the rest automatically.

Once you get the process down and document how to generate those files, I'll upload mine.

@lfoust any updates on this? I would love to contribute my collection if possible.

@daynyxx - I do have a first draft of the contribution guidelines here: https://github.com/lfoust/thediscdb-data/wiki/Contribution-Guidelines

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you or walk you through them. Thanks!

I think it would be helpful to have an example in the Contribution-Guidelines that shows all of the tags to populate in the summary.txt. I think I figured it out though. Would you like one film per pr?

Good feedback. I'll add this.

Yes, I think one film per PR would be best. Thanks!

Here is a first pass at spelling out the format of the summary file: https://github.com/lfoust/thediscdb-data/wiki/Summary-File-Format

Looks really good. I'll start making PR's and going through my collection as I have time.
