Count me in for US$100 toward the project. Not sure how much programming time I can offer in addition, but I'll certainly be more than willing to test the XML output with Finale 2010 as I have a full copy.
FWIW, If this is done well I think it will open LilyPond to more new users than you would ever guess. As a personal example, I sometimes collaborate with a composer/arranger who uses Finale exclusively. She composes on paper a real piano and then uses the Finale interface to her electric piano to enter the notes. She readily admits that entering dynamics, articulations, etc in Finale is time-consuming and clunky and that the LilyPond scores I produce are indeed better looking. If there were a reliable 2-way XML conversion between the two programs it would not only allow me to use LilyPond when we work together but would, I think, give her just enough enough incentive to invest the effort needed to start using LilyPond, too.
