Criminy on a crutch, wow.
I'm sorry to say it but there are an awful lot of hurdles to get over
in learning to use LilyPond and then even more in trying to
contribute to it. I think I see why there are fewer contributor than
Graham and Patrick etc. would like: being a contributor comes with a
learning curve that many of us just do not have time to master. I
think there'd be more contributors if contributing was a simple
process (and not so Linux-centric): installing git and all its myriad
dependencies, learning texinfo, etc. I simply don't have time for
all that. I'm happy to write text, revise text, proof-read etc. for
the Web site and the docs, but I'd submit anything in text or HTML.

Great! Install git, and then follow the instructions here:

More git instructions here (just follow the above email for the
"getting the source code")
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/devel/contrib-guide/index
Once you have the source, look in texinfo/*.texi and
texinfo/css/lilypond-general.css
Find some typo, or misspelling, or rewrite some sentence or
whatever, then send me a patch. (instructions in the CG)
(an absolutely trivial patch is fine; the important thing right
now is just to get used to git and sending patches)
