I'm now 54 and I first used LilyPond in 2001 (version 1.3.73 or 84, 
don't remember exactly) for an amateur choir where I sung bass (directed 
by my wife). I re-typed a Te Deum composed by a brother of a sopran, and 
found it fabulous. I prepare material for my wife who is also a music 
teacher (examinations).

With John and Gauvain, we began to translate the web site in 2004 and 
the documentation thereafter.

I'm not a programmer but use a computer since 1985.
