This is a popular question. A few months ago there was a long
discussion on -devel about this, but I think the person who was
trying to get it set up decided to get a cheap Linux computer
instead.

I would say that scheme is more important than C++. Also note
that you can do bugfixes in scheme without recompiling lilypond --
this way you wouldn't need to mess around with any virtual
machines, C++ compilers, etc.

Yes, there's a Frog mailist, but I can't remember the address
offhand. If Valentin had his website up, I could find the address
there.
Carl Sorensen is the FrogMeister, so when you have a patch, I
suggest sending it to him for comments first.
