The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
Rando ideas from someone with little programming experience or availability to help out. I deal with the goddamn customers so the Phish.net engineers don't have to. I have people skills. I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?
Oh yeah, ideas.
-Raters have some readily-viewable analysis of their rating history indicated next to their name; box plots would be useful and they are kinda look like cartoon turtles.
-Raters indicate if they attended live, streamed, listened afterwards. No other option. Someone to have in-person attendance verified is the golden seal. Liars get the scarlet donut next to name in perpatuity.
-Raters have number of shows attended live indicated easily next to name. Maybe some way of indicating spread of shows across era's by color and hue?
-If attended live, can rate based on both musical achievements and/or experience. Ive had a great time at shows that was more about vibe than musical achievement. The show I went to while my ex was cleaning out her stuff from our once shared apartment was maelstrom of every emotion which I shant forget soon. Maybe a Mario power-up shroom icon to indicate a psycotropic state of mind?
-Id love to select my own criteria for ratings. For example, only use select Netters (using a query function) for my rating calculations.
Y'all are great for making this community apparatus exist. Giggity.
