I think we need to have some feedback from Graham the Doc Meister and Trevor (who both did most of the Documentation). Then assuming this has approval then we need a tracker (or 2, maybe 3) to manage this, it certainly won't be something we should be doing in a single patch. It looks nice on paper, but when you get down to it - as I started to with http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1287 It isn't as trivial as you think - and can end up a lot of work, and while I understand the request, there are more pressing items I think we need to do with the doc before we start to move huge sections around. I'd personally like to get the the 50% or so of the current tracker items done first http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/list?can=2&q=type=Documentation&colspec=ID&sort=priority&x=type&y=priority&cells=tiles&mode=grid If you can help on any of these that would be useful. -- -- James _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
