GSoC idea: Frescobaldi extension (issue 571690043 by address@hidden)

Reviewers: ,

Message:
This is not as uncontroversial as removing an entire
section. However, assuming the tests pass I may consider
not waiting for the whole countdown process, if GNU
should be selected for the GSoC program.
(In that case I'd assume people will mainly look at
the GSoC page at the beginning of the phase).

+Starting with the current release 3.1
+@uref{http://frescobaldi.org, Frescobaldi} has an extension API that
+allows the easy integration of arbitrary functionality in the editing
+environment.  These could range from, say, document statistics and
+accounting functionality to fancy features like a built-in video chat
+client or a stock market ticker.
+
+We would welcome project suggestions about arbitrary Frescobaldi
+extensions of appropriate complexity that add substantial functionality
+for working with LilyPond scores which might not be suitable to be
+included into Frescobaldi itself.
+
+As @emph{suggestions} and examples may serve: a project management
+extension that can manage repetoire of arbitrary complexity, handle
+the generation of template files and the compilation process. Or an
+extension to manage the @uref{https://openlilylib.org, openLilyLib}
+infrastructure.
+
+@emph{Difficulty:} easy/medium
+
+@emph{Requirements:} Python, (PyQt)
+
+@emph{Optional:} GUILE Scheme (if functionality involves LilyPond
+internals)
