Well, it's probably rather unsexy but the German translation would need quite a bit of love: it is severely outdated. A more technical task that needs more love is working on our GUILE 2 migration before LilyPond gets removed from Debian and other distributions. The issue tracker contains a wagonload of diverse tasks: one can pick some and try working on them. It may make sense communicating one's thoughts about an issue first: some issues have a simple-sounding description and will be quite hard for technical reasons to do. So it may be helpful to get an early warning. A number of issues might be low-hanging fruit and comparatively easy to do. It's not a guarantee that all "feature" requests will be well-loved when implemented. Again it makes sense to communicate on the developer list before investing a lot of work into some particular task. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
