We have updated the to-do list for the Beta 5 launch, which you can find here: https://rateyourmusic.com/board_message?message_id=7063351&board_id=2&show=20&start=0

We've added 2 items which are already completed (Fixed Glitchwave company and platform gameography listings, User contributions pages) and crossed off two more that were already on the list (Fix bugs related to the submissions system, Fix various performance issues). So we are a net 2 items closer to completion.

We have a few 2.5 related work items we need to work on before resuming Sonemic work:

We ordered a brand new server for charts, which will be used for both RYM and Sonemic charts and is much faster than our current server. Our hope is that the server will fix the chart issues we've had since March that are explained in the "chart issues" thread. We will update everyone when this server is live (will be around November 30).

In order to finish a planned Sonemic feature, we need to add a feature to RYM 2.5 that allows users to specify the Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, and Youtube links for specific releases. This will be done via voting, and will cause streaming buttons to appear on RYM release pages and charts, which will be a nice addition to the site while users wait for Sonemic to launch. It will also finally allow users to clean up weird/bad YouTube links on release pages.

In order to fix some problems with uninteresting/ineffective Descriptor charts in Sonemic, we need to add a feature to RYM 2.5 descriptor voting for certain descriptors that allow users to specify the "degree" to which a descriptor applies to a release. This will allow users to create charts like "most energetic pop releases" rather than only being able to create a chart which is essentially "Best pop releases that could be described as energetic."

We will be performing this 2.5 work while simultaneously continuing to work on Beta 5. We typically have multiple items we're working on at any given time, so this work shouldn't slow down the progress on Beta 5.

We will keep everyone up to date as these items are completed.

The link should go to the top of the thread where the list is now.
