Playing music as an amateur and using occasionally typesetting I discovered Lilypond some years ago. And I used it with increasing enthusiasm. I'm writing music/math/computer science occasionally in Wikipedia too.
Math is no problem because with TeX there is a tool which exceeds expectations. But writing music in wikipedia means generating pictures uploading them and the correction of little errors in notes ist a cumbersome process. So I started a thread in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14480 only to learn that this wish has been online since 2004 in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189 This thread seems to unite only musicians who have no knowledge to develop neither wikipedia tools nor lilypond interfaces to wikipedia. Since 2004 musicians do want a tool and occasionally wikipedians answer that some problems (DoS attacks, time limitations...) have to be solved. My question and my plea is: could a lilypond developer grasp the essential points of the discussion in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189 (I know its very long and boring to read in the whole) and tell the real responsible people of wikipedia (tim starling) if the problems of an integration of lilypond into wikipedia can be solved and how this could be done.
