Possibly this one.

Or at some other point in the previous November 2016 discussion on this 
topic. That was the one that really hooked me on the LilyPond community. 
The one where I saw people at the intersection of music engraving, music 
theory, computer science, and software development with some of the most 
highly-advanced programming languages - but NOT noviciacy with Mother 
Teresa's order, I assume - these people handled a community disruption 
with a surprising amount of grace and intelligence.

Looks like that was a really happening month for lilypond-user; I see 
1,283 posts. It even included a "New Website" discussion. Maybe we 
should start one of those again too, just for completeness. :)

I did archive the public-Github website design proposal from that 
discussion, since I thought it was approaching a Platonic ideal of some 
sort. (Refresh-not-replace, static site, potentially JavaScript-free all 
CSS, mobile-device-responsive, little disruption to existing 
infrastructure, etc)

On second thought, I'll only re-start that discussion (not immediately, 
but in the future) if the people working on the 2.20 release approve, as 
it would be even further distracting from that goal.
