But I probably won't touch [online tutorial] until I reformat it as a PDF version. There

That's why git and github rock - someone could write the changes and
you'd just have to accept the pull request.
I strongly recommend using text input for such project (which is
really great BTW!), because text input make version control effective.
I understand that LaTeX might be scary for beginners. Maybe simply
use formatted plain text? (something like markdown, for example).
If nobody comes up with a better suggestion or serious objections -
or if nobody else just offers to maintain the project and wants to
do it differently - I will do the following:
- Host openLilyLib in the existing Github repository
(I didn't intend to start with this already, so it will be kind
of a stub for some time)
- Maintain the library's documentation and the tutorials
(starting with Antonio's proposed text on orchestral scores and
hopefully with a conversion of my existing tutorial) as a set of
LaTeX documents.
- I think there is no real alternative to this because
- LaTeX documents can be easily versioned with Git
- We are talking about LilyPond, so we wouldn't want to expose
anything less (e.g. a collection of inconsistently looking
PDFs created from various applications)
- These documents can then be rendered as individual files or as
a compiled 'book'.
- Contributors are encouraged to provide LaTeX sources too, but
- markdown or even plain text files would work too
- if we are talking about the contribution of complete
tutorials, it is also appropriate to aid in converting from,
say, reasonably structured OpenOffice or Word documents
- As a last resort we can even incorporate PDF documents (e.g.
in case someone stumbles over an existing PDF where the
sources have been lost ...)
- We have to decide upon platforms for a 'public frontend' to
the project, a mailing list and optionally an issue tracker
(although Github offers one)
Current suggestions point to use Google services for these
parts.
