Why specifically do we *need* to use textinfo? If I could make a new
system that would auto generate the docs that works with the current
system would you use it?

Good question, if limited to the website (don't touch the documentation, as it's extremely complex). What about discussing the constraints and requirements of a different build system for the website? If such a discussion was encouraging, I'd be happy to try to find a solution and hopefully work with other persons to make it possible. At least we would have a concise list of requirements for the next person who will offer to renovate the website.

This has turned into quite a bigger problem than I expected. I understand your reasons, but as a more modernistic designer and developer, I don't agree with most of your descisions no offense or problem. I just don't think I am the best person for the job.

John, you resisted more than I would have expected. I wonder if we'll ever see "the best person for _this_ job". It's not the first time and it won't be the last that we lose a potential contributor to the website. We discussed about this last year:

Probably there's some communication problem.
Long-time LilyPond developers maybe can't see how hard and non-sense can be for a modern web developer having to do with texinfo, texi2html, etc. Especially if you intend to make substantial changes, as John did. I guess that they don't see the many flaws of our current web infrastructure.
