I can't see this being useful for the doc work.  We've already reduced 
the scope of GDP fourfold.  At the current level of participation,
we might not even meet the vastly reduced goals I set for the end of 
2007.  (1 section per week?  that seems optimistic to me, given that 
we've only really covered two sections so far)


I detest discussion potential new features if there's absolutely no hope 
of their being implemented -- either on the programming side, or on the 
doc side.  There was recently a proposal to create a mini "online 
tutorial" for the lilypond application -- something that would walk 
through users compiling and viewing their first score.  Sure, that would 
be useful... and would simplify the doc tutorial.  But we don't have the 
programming resources, so any further discussion is a waste of time.

I take a similar view on the docs.  It's not like we're sitting around 
waiting for something to do; there's a huge set of TODOs on the GDP site.
