Go for a), finish simultaneous and ignore Vocal.  Nothing's going
to change there until after 2.12; there's no point starting it
now.

For as long as I'm in charge of the docs (the next 5 days :), this
is absolutely rejected.  Once you've finished Text, your
priorities are:
- bugs
- LSR
- lilypond report

If... **IF**... you think you can undertake 30 hours of doc work
on Vocal, **WITHOUT** any of your other responsibilities
suffering... then go ahead.

Bear in mind that at some point soon after 2.12 is out, LSR should
be updated to use 2.12.  That'll require a bunch more work adding
the stuff from input/new/ and whatnot.  Also note that we'll have
a huge pile of new bug reports (not necessarily *valid* bug
reports, though) after 2.12 is released.  Also note that the
increased visibility of LSR in the 2.12 docs might (faint hope
here) attract more people to be using it, which would require more
editing from you.


In other words, there's no way you're touching vocal.itely until
next Dec.  And by that time, the doc team will probably have
started working on it anyway.
