ItalianoJamendo needs you!
We mentioned in our newsletter our intention to turn this blog into a full-fledged music webzine in 2009, with one post per day. The aim is of course to present you as many quality artists as possible.
And today, we need you! We wish to continually improve this blog, above all from a graphic and design point of view (layout, template…). Your contributions are welcome. Whether you’re a designer, a web developer, a journalist, a student or just a hardcore internet user, let us know if you have any ideas, creations and suggestions by posting them below. Thanks!

A lot of jobs, I think.

A very good idea would be to implement RSS feeds for the other languages of this blog.

I can try to help with RU localization if needed.

I’d recommend fully (and prominently) integrating it into the Jamendo website.
And finally adding a development/news/stuff blog or category.
Adding categories or tags of genres for posts with music.

- Tags,
- Maybe some photo gallery with groups or singers who were described by you?

If you’ll ever need/want a polish journalist for writing/translating blog entries, feel free to contact me.

* Intergration with Last.fm — I think both sites/projects (not to mention the artists and users!) could benefit greatly by tighter collaboration. E.g. by taking music taste from Last.fm, scrobbling played tracks on Jamendo to Last.fm, sharing artist profiles and tags. Last.fm users could also see Jamendo’s artists’ tracks and download them.
* Tag cleanup — e.g. “hard rock” and “hardrock” are IMO the same thing.
* More search options — more options on filtering by license (e.g. “without SA”),
* RSS feeds for torrents — e.g. RSS torrent feed that a user can “subscribe” to on his BitTorrent client for all (future) albums by a certain artist; all searches could be feed-able.
(* get rid of Flash in favour for something that is truly crossplatform and open …yeah, I know, fat chance here, but hey, it was worth a shot ;) hehe)
* Do *NOT* fall into the Pokémon-esque “gotta get ‘em all” friends collecting trap. We’re here for the music and should not ever forget that! If a user wants to compete who has more “friends” added, he should join MySpace or FaceBook :P (sorry, got a bit carried away here …it’s late already)
And for Slovene/Slovenian localisation, you can also contact me…

It hasn’t anything to do with the blog itself, but it’s a suggestion: could you please seed the bittorrent versions of the music you distribute? I’ve been waiting for 3 days for anyone to send me parts of the 21 albums I’m waiting for. I managed to have 2 others (the ones of Drunksouls), so I now keep seeding. I’d love to do the same with the rest, but if you don’t seed, I won’t have them and therefore I won’t be able to seed them!
Please do something for that. I really don’t like being forced to download mp3 versions of something I should be able to get in ogg (and no i dont convert them cause i dont want to lose more quality of song)…
I’m a true fan of this website/community, please help be being able to contribute!
Thanks (contact me on twitter using @nikonoel).

@Nikonoel:
I’ve contacted the Jamendo team a few days ago because of that and they say that they’ve been having some problems with the Ogg/Vorbis versions and that they’re already working on it.

What I would like to see: Daily (or weekly) podcasts in the main genres. Let’s discover new artists and talents.
What I can do to help: I’ve been doing translations for other softwares for several years. A site in French (Canadian) would be nice.
Great Site !!!
