This idea has been rejected in the past (see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2007-09/msg00212.html)

Back then I created a cartoonish music-note character as a joke:

I still use it every now and then on the unofficial LilyPond community
website, lilynet.net .

I have been developing some screencasts (in French, but an English
version is planned as well). It is, indeed, a great way of getting
started.

Then again, I think this would belong on lilynet.net more than on
lilypond.org (actually, this is one of the reasons why I opened
lilynet in the first place).
If/when such material appears on lilynet, I am sure we can provide the
newbies with visible links on lilypond.org .
