Help Wanted: LilyPond templates chapter

[Han-Wen Nienhuys]

Hi Y'all,

LilyPond development is gearing up towards a new, better, funkier
glitzier stable release, and that is LilyPond 3.0. It will be easier
to use than ever before, it has more capabilities, and the layout is
so much improved that reading LilyPond 3.0 parts will instantaneously
improve your instrumental playing. It will -in one word- rock.

And the best thing is: you can help get it released sooner!





We are still looking for a

  DOCUMENTATION EDITOR

that is, someone that takes the questions and answers of the mailing
lists and edits that so they become part of the user manual.  We're
looking for a someone can write English, is willing to run LilyPond
CVS and help edit the manual.  If you feel qualified, send me an
email.

The task that needs particular attention for release 3.0 is the
integration of the templates files. The examples at 

  http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.3/input/template/out-www/collated-files.html

should really be a part of the manual, so there is a nice bridge
between the tutorial and the more advanced sections of the manual. The
task is to take the examples from the template collection, strip them
to their essentials, and put them into the template chapter. Ideally,
each template should not take more than 1 page of LilyPond code.

Please consider helping out.  I and your fellow LilyPond users will be
very thankful!
