I've been meaning to introduce this topic for months, right after I do a 
complete survey (and if necessary, update) of all existing bugs.  This 
should happen Real Soon Now (tm).

The docs are generally ok, but I'd like to take another look at the new 
Program Usage manual.  Again, I expect to be done by the end of August.  
I'm not certain if the translators want to look at this before 2.12 
comes out.


I'd like to have a longer period between "almost ready" and "released".  
This is partly to gather more bug reports before the .0 release, but 
also so that we can update LSR and move snippets into LSR.  My personal 
ideal is to have a completely empty input/new/  directory structure for 
the .0 release.  This probably isn't feasible, because the version of 
lilypond in LSR needs to be updated to 2.12-rc, then we need to add all 
these snippets and make sure everything still works.

A more realistic goal is to clear out input/new/  by the 12.2.2 release 
-- we update LSR for .0, then start adding snippets.  This takes two or 
three weeks, and in the mean time we fix some previously-unreported 
regressions and release .1.
