Criminy on a crutch, wow.
I'm sorry to say it but there are an awful lot of hurdles to get over in
learning to use LilyPond and then even more in trying to contribute to
it. I think I see why there are fewer contributor than Graham and
Patrick etc. would like: being a contributor comes with a learning
curve that many of us just do not have time to master. I think there'd
be more contributors if contributing was a simple process (and not so
Linux-centric): installing git and all its myriad dependencies, learning
texinfo, etc. I simply don't have time for all that. I'm happy to
write text, revise text, proof-read etc. for the Web site and the docs,
but I'd submit anything in text or HTML.
I'm happy to format stuff as texinfo for you if you want to write
text for the website, for example the inspirational essay "why to
use Lilypond" that (I think) we're still looking for, or if you
want to revise text in the docs, call our attention to typos and
so forth. If someone comes along as says exactly where there's a
problem in the docs and provides (even in an email) an exact line
with which to replace it, then to me that's a significant
contribution and I'm happy to integrate it to the docs.
