I agree COMPLETELY.

Are you volunteering? I'm asking because we currently have 0 (zero) people working on the documentation[1]. Nobody's doing the Learning manual. Nobody's updating the Notation reference. Nobody's writing about tweaking in scheme, or the glossary, or Usage, or getting screenshots to show windows newbies how to click on the toolbar icons, any of the other things that we'd like to have. As long as everybody says "hey, we should find somebody to do XYZ", nothing will get done. Cheers, - Graham [1] actually, we have one person working on one page of the website. He's sent me two patches, made with diff -u... he's not even using git. I'm grateful for this, and potentially he might end up being the documentation manager in six months -- but I don't think he's a candidate for this job. _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
