Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Anyone here use roboyoshi's datacurator-filetree? What do you think of it?

I write and record some my own music, some is personal and some is for my band. Under this filetree, where would it go in your opinion? In audio? Or in documents? Should I have all "band" media together, music, artwork, plans? etc? Should I have the band as a user on it's own and let it use it's own filetree?

I do not loke that kind of folder structure for personal projects. In your case, I will create something like this: _personal/_music/date - project name/[music|artwork|plans]

I store my own created music DAW projects under documents, in its own subfolder. However, I also store a copy of an exported mp3/flac under music.

Yeah I'm thinking of moving more in that direction too
