Add “Guess Case” function for Event names in MusicBrainz

Music events are stored in MusicBrainz and their names must follow our capitalization standards like all other entities. Improve the event editing form to provide the “Guess Case” feature to the event name field.

Requirements:

  • A working development environment, including a MusicBrainz server in standalone mode. (See the documentation for information on how to do this.) Installation should be fairly straightforward to complete, but it could be quite long depending on your computer performance. Note that running the server code is only supported on Linux systems and that you need at least ~20 GB of space to install it.

Steps include:

  1. Request an account for the issue tracker on #metabrainz (IRC channel)
  2. Assign yourself the linked ticket
  3. Create a branch to modify the code (Perl, Moose, Template Toolkit, JavaScript) with style
  4. Test your changes on your local MusicBrainz server and show us a screenshot
  5. Create a pull request to submit your changes

If you have questions, feel free to ping us on #metabrainz (IRC channel).
