One in-the-middle approach is to check out package managers that are offering
LilyPond releases. I know, for example, that brew offers a version of LilyPond
on Mac OS X. If we provide a list of package managers and how-tos for the
techno-phobic, that may be enough to maintain (and even grow) the user base.
It has the added benefit of pointing people to better resources than those we
could maintain in-house: I think that jEdit plus the brew version of LilyPond,
for example, is a more compelling package than the GUI we distribute.
Does Windows have its share of package managers that offer this sorta thing?
Cheers,
