That's not quite what I said.  I said that nobody was working on it,
so we might as well begin translating it, partly in the hopes that the
translators would fix obvious problems.

Ok then, every time you dump a comment into the texinfo, I'll take the
time to remove it and discuss it over email or dump it in the tracker.

Maybe I should stop fussing the GUB and clean up those issues.  It's
certainly true that I set a bad example by leaving the website in the
state I did.

I'll test Patrick's patch for the uninstallation thing, but then start
tidying up some old things rather than working on newer release stuff.

Umm, in this very thread?
  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2010-01/msg00082.html
Scroll to the bottom, item 2) ?

I expected that both those items are small enough that we could have a
brief discussion on -devel and then move on with life.  If not, I
could add them to the tracker.
