That's the whole point of the Grand Website Project, or Grand
Organization Project, or Grand Organization O-something else.  I'd
use GOP except I've gotten in trouble in the past for three-letter
words which some people interpret in a political way.


This project, to be named later, will begin on Jan 1, 2009 and
probably end Aug 2009.  Current goals:
- revamp website
- re-examine LM 1 + AU vs. the website.  For example, we have two
  essays about computer music engraving.  One will die.
- finish NR 1-4 and start/finish AU.
- have a bi-weekly newsletter (this will hopefully continue after
  Aug)
- re-examine popular tweaks and possible add them to ly/
    (we need to discuss this)
- *possibly* start training more people in how to fix bugs
- introduce radically shorter development cycles
    (we need to discuss this)

My plans aren't as concrete as I would have liked to have them
when I announce something like this, but I figured that if I
didn't say anything you'd have a long discussion and not really
get anything done.

Cheers,
