I hope so. I read through the Waf book and put a quick draft of a migration plan at http://wiki.lilynet.net/index.php/Switching_to_Waf This plan mainly aims at helping me putting ideas in good order and informing you of the goals and progress of the migration, but it would be wonderful if it could also motivate some developers to help with this migration :-) You'll see my first experiments on dev/waf branch when I push it (I haven't really started any development yet). > If somebody is interested in it and is willing > to spend time working with the waf developers, great!

If Waf proves to be well-designed enough so that all we'll have to do is writing Waf tools to support builds that use Texinfo, LilyPond executables, Metafont and a few other custom building tools we have, then using these tools and Waf tools provided for C++ and Python scripts in wscripts. > I absolutely do not want to have a half-completed switch to waf > for documentation.

Our current build system for the documentation sucks so much that even a half-finished set of Waf tools and wscripts will provide better building conditions. If the new build system with Waf proves to be maintainable, you'll have little difficulty to "fumbling around" in it even if it's still a draft :-) Best, John
