Re: lilypond and Wikipedia

[Graham Percival]

Search this mailist for previous discussion.  In summary,
1) yes, we know about this possible use.
2) yes, we know what to do.
3) no, nobody has volunteered to do it.

If you're willing to help out, please find that previous
discussion (maybe Feb 2009?  March 2009?  Certainly between Jan
and now) and refresh yourself with it.

If you're not willing to help out, then asking us won't change
anything.  I suppose you could give a plea on the -user list for
other people willing to do it.

Cheers,
- Graham
