    Hello all!
    
    I’m curious as to all the various jobs/tasks required to keep Lilypond 
development moving forward at the fastest possible pace and in the most 
efficient possible way. Is there a single list compiled anywhere, written with 
an eye to extreme granularity? (The closest I can find is 
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/contributor/help-us>, and the 9 
bullet points there are at least an order of magnitude fewer than the list I’m 
thinking of.) If not, I’ll start a list, brainstormed from my naïve perspective.
    
    Motivation: if we collectively polish it into a clear and complete 
description of the entire Lily-dev ecosystem, we could eventually use it to:
        (a) place existing developers and contributors into their Zone(s) of 
Genius;
        (b) identify the most important gaps or under-addressed areas in the 
pipeline; and
        (c) help new developers find the best way in to the 'Pond.
    
    Thoughts?

Sounds like a great idea.  This is something that Graham did exceptionally well 
when he was here, IMO.
