Unfortunately, this is not the best time to start such a project. I'm
leaving in 5 days, and I think it's best for the remaining doc team to
have a few weeks working by themselves -- finishing existing material,
sorting out who does what, getting more familiar with
texinfo/git/technical doc issues, etc.
I hate be discouraging, but I just can't see this going smoothly at the
moment. I'd rather postpone it for a month -- or if necessary, 3 or 4
months (if you get busy again) until I think that the technical support
is there.
Could you review the docs, and put this idea on hold for a month or so
(ie after 2.12 and the immediate flurry of activity that will generate
dies down)? Reviewing the docs may be more important than you realize;
large portions of the documentation were rewritten by people with
between 2 - 6 months of lilypond experience. I would be surprised if
the current "finished" sections did not contain at least one inaccuracy
-- to say nothing of omissions.
Please see the GDP status on
http://web.uvic.ca/~gperciva/
and carefully review any of the "finished" or "draft" sections.
Cheers,
