Yes, definitely. The one-shot jobs might have a better result/payoff ratio, but if you're interested in this, it's certainly open!GENERAL EDITING / JANITORIAL:- check manual for current correctness (does it make sense, is the info up-to-date, etc)- verify anything in the "bugs" sections - standardize # signs http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2006-10/msg00180.html - avoid future tense http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2006-01/msg00076.htmlIs this job still open?
There are three different levels you could pursue:- (low) read the docs, experiment with "bugs", find mistakes. Then write emails to me detailing all these changes, and I'll happily make the corrections. - (medium) download the source, then edit the .texinfo files (they're easy to understand, even if you've never used texinfo) to make corrections. If you do this, then you could also read/resolve any comments in the docs. :) - (high) download the source, build docs on your home computer (see Program Usage, 1.2.4 Building documentation without compiling LilyPond), edit texinfo, build docs again to make sure you have a good patch, then send patches to me.
Speaking from experience, the last option is much more satisfying (since you can actually see the changes), but requires a bit more technical ability. Since you're using OSX, it shouldn't be too hard. (I did everything like this until two weeks ago) oh, you should have fink installed; you might want to look into that if you don't have it already.
