Created June 5, 2019 20:38
All of the audiobooks recorded by Librivox contributors as of June 5, 2019. Compiled with the Internet Archive API. Removed MB4 collections and CD cover images.
We can't make this file beautiful and searchable because it's too large.

Changes to GitHub

  • Add a server-rules repo to the progdisc GitHub.
  • The server rules could be one file, the README, or could be split into topic files.
    • I anticipate we may use one file for the rules and perhaps another for samwho's server mantras if we want those.
    • See also, maybe a code of conduct if we adopt one. There is a whole class of official documentation that we could store here.

POC for something we shouldn't do. is_anime could come from the API call, I think.
class _SeriesStatus:
def __init__(self, is_anime):
self.is_anime = is_anime
def __repr__(self):
return '{}(is_anime={})'.format(self.__class__.__name__, self.is_anime)
def __str__(self):
if self.is_anime:
return self.anime_string
