I've picked Linux Weekly News and Linuxtoday

know about Slashdot.

LilyPond is rather highly technical: it turns out that most
contributions to the manuals not created by active developers need
several revisions before they are submittable.  It also turns out that
there is a _lot_ of material covered in the manuals, and the haphazard
coverage of Wikistuff would not really be helpful for a high
signal-to-noise ratio.
