Addendum in case anybody misunderstands: let's assume that Reinhold has 30 minutes of spare time to work on lilypond. That's enough time to: - write docs for this part-combine feature. or - create a new draft of his patch for "keeping state in part_combine_engraver", which sounds like a powerful new feature for \partcombine or - review Joe's "optimizations for pure-hight approximations", which appears to cut the compile time of large scores by 50%. Now, out of those options, almost anybody can write docs. It can certainly be done if we combine Xavier writing initial stuff, Colin doing some cleanup, and then James reviewing the patch on Reitveld. But none of those people (AFAIK) can provide a serious review of Joe's "cut compile time in half" patch. So the most efficient use of our meager resources is to encourage experts like Reinhold to work on programming tasks, and to keep a "vaccum" of minor doc tasks for helpful users to tackle.
