David is completely correct here.
I would encourage interested people to put more effort into
fostering and maintaining a community: lilynet, maybe blogs, maybe
making mutopia (or some platform) more active, etc. At the moment
there's a huge gap between the daily activity of mailing lists and
most users. lilynet is a good start, but it's always in need of
more contributors and a more regular schedule. And more
advertising... nobody added lilynet 28 to the main lilypond
website news, for example.
