The "source code of these web sites" is also written in Texinfo. > and why, imo, this approach is a good candidate for a new lily web > site.

Guile's doc hasn't change, not even a single modif, > because of it's new web-site :) That's because Guile does not have its web site written in Texinfo. LilyPond does. Below is its home page copied and pasted from within Emacs' Info reader (well, one should eventually address the image inclusion problem but it would not make it into Email anyway). The Info rendition of the web page is available as <info://lilypond-web>. Of course, there is also a PDF version. Please bring yourself up to speed before suggesting changes in infrastructure. Experience tells us that people bringing large-scale changes about tend not to stick around for all of the tedious ongoing aftermath: everything ends up being maintained by "the same suspects" in the long run, as a rough but comparatively accurate approximation. We are somewhat lucky here to be offering our web page in a number of different languages: in that way, we basically find out from the start whether continued maintenance even of the English web page content by others than its original programmer could turn out problematic. Guile's web page, in contrast, is English-only and fairly static.

Lilypond 2.18.2 released! _March 23, 2014_ ------------------------------------------ We are proud to announce the release of GNU LilyPond 2.18.2. LilyPond is a music engraving program devoted to producing the highest-quality sheet music possible. It brings the aesthetics of traditionally engraved music to computer printouts. This version provides a number of updates to 2.18.0, including updated manuals. We recommend all users to upgrade to this version. Two LilyPond projects in Google Summer of Code 2016 _April 23, 2016_ -------------------------------------------------------------------- We are happy to see two students, Nathan Chou and Jeffery Shivers, working on LilyPond as participants in the Google Summer of Code this year. We hope they produce great results and stay in the developer community afterwards. Nathan will tackle an annoying limitation, namely the unability of spanners to cross voices. His work will make a class of ugly workarounds obsolete. Jeffery will bring the ScholarLY package[1] to production quality and add a LaTeX package to it, making it possible to create beautiful critical reports from data encoded directly in the LilyPond score.
