Now it is finally time to review https://openlilylib.org and give it a new life. The site that is currently online is completely out of date, not only visually and technically, but above all conceptually. What it should become is a rather small site about openLilyLib as what its core intends to be: a library infrastructure. So I'm going to throw out all the secondary projects that aren't directly related to that idea.
In addition I want to prepare a structure for presenting package documentation which will go to subdomains like (non-existing) https://scholarly.openlilylib.org. I would be happy about any assistance with this project because I *could* do it alone but a) I don't have sufficient time to work my way through all the obstacles and b) of course when doing something like this with a few people chances to succeed and finish are significantly higher ... The main site will have a general introduction to openLilyLib and a catalog of packages that are considered members of the openLilyLib family and that are documented on such subdomains. I want to create the main site and the doc sites using Bootstrap as statically served pages. The main site *could* be done hand-written but I would prefer finding the appropriate static site builder to create it from Markdown files and assets. The documentation subpages of course *have* to be generated through a builder, and I would very much prefer one written in Python, because that's what I know best and because I expect to use python-ly for several aspects of generating the package documentation pages. So the first step is creating a new website for the main site, the second designing a template structure and design for the package docs. Building a script for generating package documentation will be a third step that we'll hopefully start doing as well, but in a way it's independent from the first steps. This will be a tool that can be run against any single oll-compliant package and create a self-contained website that is usable as a "child" to openlilylib.org (that is, a "Home" link to openlilylib.org will be the exception to the self-containedness). So as said I'd be happy about anyone approaching me who - is interested in openLilyLib and - knows - Bootstrap - LESS - the visual part of web design - (Python based) static site builders or any usable subset thereof.
