John, this looks now good, there are now two versions of the same file in the
German directory, one is calles windows.html and the other cygwin.html. So you
can safely discard one of them. I was aware that the windows binary is working,
I was just really wondering what is the stuff about this cygwin.
My point of the whole thing was that: I go to the download section from the main page and read
the page. There it says: download the version that fits to your system, then continue with
"Getting started". Then you go down, download, install your binary, in this case
windows. You click to the Getting started link and find: "Windows users are advised to a
look at the
quickstart method for Windows <http://lilypond.org/web/install/cygwin>."
Well, at least hier I would get really confused, because when I click it I get
to a page that asks me to download another installer with 66 MB and which will
be anstalled like 250 mb. How is this possible, I would think.
So to sum up: I think the text in the getting-started.html is not clear at all, it should
be really clear that a user is advised to use the "command line" page testing
and only if there comes mistakes she should go to download this cygwin. Or shouldn't this
be removed totally from here and put somewhere to experimental section or to the
development pages?
Editors:
It might be nice to put a page for the user, what frontends and editors she can
find, and it would be good to link it to the install.html page right on the
top. I like the idea about the install/getting-started.html, from there you get
addressed to
install/using.html. But here you have only a link to the tutorial, and there
should be clearly a link to switch/howto.html first, because this is sofar the
only one being translated into German/Spain. Only from there you should
continue to the tutorial.
Greetings
Till
