-@chapter Getting involved
-
-Please help us make LilyPond a better program. You can help LilyPond in
-several ways. Not all tasks requiring programming or understanding the
-full source code. You can write to the mailing list
-(@email{gnu-music-discuss@@gnu.org} for more information)
-
-@unnumberedsubsec Users
-
-Mutopia needs your help. The mutopia project is a collection of public
-domain sheet music. You can help the project by entering music (either
-by hand, or by converting from scans or MIDI) and submitting it. Point
-your browser to the @uref{http://sca.uwaterloo.ca/Mutopia, Mutopia
-webpage}.
-
-@unnumberedsubsec Font designers
-
-Our set of glyphs (the Feta font) is far from complete. We need the
-following glyphs: segno, coda. The fonts have been coded in MetaFont,
-so you will need to know MetaFont if you want to contribute a glyph.
-
-@unnumberedsubsec Writers
-
-The documentation of LilyPond and related utilities needs a lot of
-work. The documentation is written in
-@uref{http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo,texinfo}. The documentation of
-LilyPond is sorely lacking in terms of completeness, depth and
-organisation.
-
-Write if you know how to write english documentation in texinfo, and
-know about music and music notation. You must also know how to use
-LilyPond (or be prepared to learn using it). The task is not especially
-hard, but it is a lot of work, and you must be familiar with LilyPond.
-
-@unnumberedsubsec Translators
-
-LilyPond is completely ready for internationalized messages, but there
-are only a few translations so far (dutch, italian, german, japanese,
-french, russian). Translation involves writing a .po file, which is
-relatively easy, and does not even require running LilyPond.
-
-@unnumberedsubsec Hackers
-
-There are lots of possibilities of improving the program itself. There
-are both small projects and big ones. Most of them are listed in our
-TODO file, listed on the homepage of Jan and
-@uref{http://www.cs.uu.nl/~hanwen/lily-devel,Han-Wen}. Modifying
-LilyPond almost always requires patches to the C++ part.
-
-There are also numerous other interesting projects that are more or less
-related to LilyPond
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item Writing convertors, eg. from NIFF and MIDI (we tried writing one with
-limited success: midi2ly, included with lilypond.)
-
-We found that writing them in Python is the easiest.
-
-@item Writing a GUI frontend to
-LilyPond. At the moment @uref{denemo,denemo.sourceforge.net} is the most
-advanced.
-
-@item Helping write @uref{ http://solfege.sourceforge.net/,solfege
-tools}
-
-@item Helping @uref{primrose.sourceforge.net,primrose}, a tool for
-scanning sheet music.
