Werner,

What's the problem here?

The problem is that I come to Lilypond with a skill set — specifically, many years of Java+Javascript+(X)HTML+XSL(T)+CSS+(La) TeX experience — which should be more than adequate for any modern documentation project involving a WWW component.

I want to help move Lilypond forward, and I'm told that documentation is the place to start.
Awesome! With apologies to Apple, "I've got an app for that!"

Oh, wait... I've got to learn yet another markup language (one which I am unlikely to use in any other job/situation in my maoing lifetime), and install a bunch of apps (still in progress, over an hour later?!) before I can even start the [alleged] 2-5 hours of content development/improvement.

I guess what I'm really saying is, if we think the barrier-to-entry for USERS is high, we've got another thing coming re: DEVELOPERS... =\

Cheers,
Kieren.

p.s. Hopefully I'm more resilient than others who have come before me — and subsequently dropped off the face of the interwebs, if Graham's "0 documentation developers" is accurate — and I'll be able to get past these initial obstacles without losing [too much of] my goodwill steam.
