== Getting started ==
 
 
 
Obviously, biographical info has been published in several books - not the least, in TRFZB; how do we propose getting this data online here? Is this something that someone must enter into the database? Or does the stuff exist in cyberspace already?
 
 
 
== Let's start off modestly ==
 
 
 
We can always go into greater depth biographically-wise later; I think for now a concise biography would be sufficient.
 
 
 
For that, yes, someone would actually have to type stuff inhere! ;-)

== Starting point ==
 
 
 
This could be a starting point: http://globalia.net/donlope/fz/chronology/index.html
 
 
 
* 1940-1964 From Baltimore to Cucamonga
 
* 1965-1969 The Mothers of Invention
 
* 1970-1972 Hot Rats/Mothers/Wazoo
 
* 1973-1975 Discreet
 
* 1976-1980 Zappa/Barking Pumpkin
 
* 1981-1984 Them Or Us
 
* 1985-1993 The Last Tour
 
* 1994 et sq. The Zappa Family Trust

== Agreed ==
 
 
 
Agreed, and I'm about to add these subheaders to the biography page.

== What belongs here? ==
 
 
 
Should we have musicians and recording session details in the biography when we have pages for all that stuff e.g...
 
 
 
c. August, 1962 PAL Recording Studio, Cucamonga, CA: Paul Buff (guitar, organ, drums, saxes), Dave Aerni (bass), Mike Dineri (sax), FZ (comb) - recorded Heavies (Aerni/Buff) (intro heard in Nasal Retentive Calliope Music) on We're Only In It For The Money) and The Cruncher (Aerni/Buff).
 
 
 
Can we check and resolve and/or explain variations in dates etc when adding to the wiki. e.g. The above biography listing gives 1962 but our pages for [[Heavies]]/[[The Cruncher]] (with no musicians listed) gives 1964.

"''Should we have musicians and recording session details in the biography''"... No<br>
 
"''Can we check and resolve and/or explain variations in dates etc''"... Yes<br>
 
The Wiki way of working is not always, er, working... Someone puts something on a page, then someone else picks it up, cleans it up, extends it, and puts everything in the right place... We wish! So, probably we need to do it differently... --[[User:Emdebe|Emdebe]] 08:08, 11 Jun 2005 (PDT)
