Well previously with russmus V1 every band had their own page. So we had Kino.html, Ariya.html etc etc.
We had the same for all the songs.. so we'd have Kino-Spokoynaya-noch.htm Ariya-ulitaza-roz.html
This ment that if one wanted to make a new artist for instance, then one would have to find a page, copy it, delete all the artists information, add in the new artists information. It became a huge pain (espeicaly if an artist had about 10 songs to add)
In RussmusV2 all these pages were replaced with a database. This means that we have 1 page, called band, and that page will fetch the apropriate information out of the database and generate you the page
Thus to add a new artist/band/song whatever, all one has to do is add the relevent data into the database (witch is easy)
That was all well and good, but there were problems with V2 from the start, that made it difficult to do routine things and uptating turned out to be more infrequent than with V1
V3 solves all these problems with a new backend and a nice shiney new frontend
Here's a short list of features that are in V3 that arn't in V2
Non english translations
Automaticly generated weekly updates
Better searching
A more maintainable code base
Better browser compatabilty
A vastly improved conent managment system
All of those realy do mean more frequent updates!
That depends on what you mean by it, and what you mean by maintains
jammers fixes all the problems and adds new features to the code
katya changes the look and feel of the website
Everyone contributes to the content by cataloging artists/albums/songs
Depends. There's not realy much more to do with the front end
