Re: [announcement] Elysium - LilyPond IDE for Eclipse

[Harmath Dénes]

Thanks everybody for the feedback, I updated the website to include the 
solutions to the issues you encountered and created two mailing         lists:
- User Group: for questions about installation (like Matthieu's), usage (like 
Stefan's) etc.: http://groups.google.com/group/elysium-user
- Developer Group: for questions about implementation details (like Boris's), 
design decisions (like Bertalan's) etc.: 
http://groups.google.com/group/elysium-devel
Please use them from now on for discussion instead of this thread.

Regarding the question about why implement yet another editing environment for 
LilyPond: I also understand and agree with the severity of the issues of 
proliferation of technologies and splitting of effort. But I did it mainly 
because it's fun. :) I could argue about the advantages of Eclipse (I will 
dedicate a section for this on the website), but I don't want any flame wars 
about technology choices, and of course it has its drawbacks too (especially 
the complexity). Besides being fun, it has dogfooding purposes: I use Eclipse 
constantly and have to edit sheet music frequently, so the integration aim was 
kind of obvious for me. YMMV. :)
