I’ve know someone at Carnegie-Mellon University who is well-connected
in the computer and music departments (he is both a composer and a programmer).
I approached him recently with the idea of getting involved with Lilypond.
He said:
One possibility is that sometimes there are software engineering projects
looking for tasks, so I might be able to point a class project at Lilypond
in the future.
I'm curious if there's a short summary of the direction for large-scale work on
Lilypond.
Is there something we can forward to him, so that he can take it to his
department and/or colleagues for consideration? If we could convince
a major university to take on [some or all of the] programming —
for single projects or the whole enchilada — I think it would be
a big boost to the ‘Pond.
That would be extremely cool!
As for the list of long-term projects, i don't think we have any
(which is very bad for the project imo). I would be happy to write
something down if there is at least one other developer interested in
reviewing and expanding it.
No volunteers? :-(
Kieren, i'm not sure if it's not too late for this, but _maybe_ i'll
manage to write something down anyway.
best,
Janek
I didn't want to post that because I'm not ready with it yet, but I
think I have to comment on this occasion.
I was asked by the head of the "music informatics" (however the correct
English term would be) department of a University nearby for suggestions
for projects that could be assigned to students for their bachelor,
master or PhD thesis'. This will of course be a non-binding list without
guarantee that anything will be really done. But it _can_ provide nice
input of man-power.
I will write together a list with projects, but explicitly from my (i.e.
the musicological) perspective. I already have such a document, but
that's more a personal sketch.
Maybe it's a good idea to do that in a Wiki of github.com/openlilylib?
