Oh, I didn't mean to suggest that it was lilypond-related.  AFAIK,
only Erik's Maters thesis had anything to do with lilypond.  No, I
was just saying that we have a lot of smart, academically-oriented
people working on lilypond.  :)

I just meant for the translation maintenance -- explaining how to
merge material from lilypond/translation into master.  If anything
needs to be explained, that is... the frequency?  Solutions to any
common problems?  Etc.

That's only necessary if you're too busy to do this work yourself,
of course.  If you anticipate having whatever time is required for
the normal translation maintenance, then it's not really important
to add stuff to the CG.  :)
