Re: `Help Us' section duplicated

[Simon Albrecht]

Hi Mark,

it took me a while to extract the exact point from your long text; but 
now I may summarize:
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/web/help-us> and 
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/contributor/help-us> 
contain the same text.

Both these questions are unlikely to be relevant to a vast majority of 
the readers, I think. Probably no one except from you has been irritated 
by this.
– The duplicated text passages are referenced from a common source. They 
have not, of course, been copied manually – that would be absurd given 
the sophistication and professionality involved in all of the setup and 
design, and the general efforts to avoid code duplication.
– They have certainly been duplicated by design, and I agree that it 
makes sense, since the information is needed both on the ‘surface’ of 
the website and as the beginning of a comprehensive discussion in the CG.

Of course, this only links the subsection within the CG, as with all 
other links of the kind. There’s no reason to change that.

I hope this clarifies the matter.
Thanks for making so detailed thoughts on this.

Yours, Simon
