Regaring the location of the individual libraries, what would you consider best:

• adding all beside oll-core
  (keeping the option that anyone creates libraries in their own place)
• creating a new openlilylib sibling organization for that purpose
• Just have library maintainers maintain their repos in their own namespace
  (providing a central listing of available libraries in some place, of course)

Does this depend somewhat on how the documentation will work? 

No :-)

Seems like centralized documentation would be easier with centralized repos, but maybe it would work fine either way…

We'll have a central place where libraries are registered (this is part of the plans for the "package manager"). Registered libraries are basically pointers to remote repositories.

That means if you create a library against openLilyLib this is originally private (note: this will make it possible to create private/project/house repositories that take advantage of the openLilyLib infrastructure).
When that library is registered with openLilyLib we'll have the URL available to pull the repository in and create the documentation.
I hope we'll also manage to provide a hook so when that library is later pushed to Github the documentation is automatically updated.

I think we'll then provide a script to (locally) generate documentation for just the library and another one to create and deploy the full set of docs.
