Wow, this is awesome!!

Hmm.
A wiki would be nice, but maybe it could just be a full-blown repo
with lilypond notes?

The thing is: editing text files in a repo using github interface is
as simple as editing a wiki (the only difference is that you need
permission to edit files in the repo, while the wiki can be open to
everyone - but we could give permission to everyone who asked).  To
add images or other files (i.e. non-text stuff) to the wiki, one has
to clone it like a repo anyway (github wikis are git repos under the
hood).

So, i'd personally lean towards creating a big "lilypond-notes" repo
that everyone from LilyPond community can access.  Or maybe we could
put this in an existing repo, like
https://github.com/gperciva/lilypond-extra ?  Opinions?

best,
Janek

PS for the people who don't like GitHub: maybe we could use gitlab for
that, if someone would volunteer setting the repo up.
