New users are the best source of documentation. Once you've been using
a
program for a few years, it's difficult to remember which were the hard
steps
when you were starting out. Please send any comments[1] my way! :)
The wiki seems like a great place for people to contribute
documentation that
can then be tidied up by Graham Percival (or whoever) and folded into
the
regular docs,
Yes, exactly.
I'd like to suggest that we more actively use the wiki to document
problems we
face (and hopefully solve). Poking through the primary documentation
to see the
same minimal descriptions of components or formatting can be quite
frustrating.
Actually, at the moment I find the comments on the lilypond-user
mailist more
useful than wiki. (since I know how to read, reply to, and store
emails for
later inclusion in the docs, whereas I don't know how to use the wiki
yet :)
While I'm not too busy (the next couple of weeks), I'd prefer to take
stuff
directly from the mailist. If I get busier after that (say, doing
LilyPond
stuff only once or twice a week) then it might be better for people to
submit
docs to the wiki and have me take it from the wiki.
Cheers,
