Count me in for US$100 toward the project. Not sure how much programming time I can offer in addition, but I'll certainly be more than willing to test the XML output with Finale 2010 as I have a full copy.
FWIW, If this is done well I think it will open LilyPond to more new users than you would ever guess. As a personal example, I sometimes collaborate with a composer/arranger who uses Finale exclusively. She composes on paper a real piano and then uses the Finale interface to her electric piano to enter the notes. She readily admits that entering dynamics, articulations, etc in Finale is time-consuming and clunky and that the LilyPond scores I produce are indeed better looking.
If there were a reliable 2-way XML conversion between the two programs it would not only allow me to use LilyPond when we work together but would, I think, give her just enough enough incentive to invest the effort needed to start using LilyPond, too.
Cheers,
Mike

I offer C$100 to the MusicXML project.
If [Jan: hint hint!] my C$100 goes to creating a function (e.g., \displayLilystreamXML) which simply converts the raw Lilypond music stream (i.e., what we see with \displayMusic) as an XML blob, I'm happy to do "for free" all the XSLT coding required to turn that "LilystreamXML" into useable MusicXML.
However, if the entire project will be in C++ and/or Scheme, I can offer little (to nothing) beyond the C$100.

If you scan the archives for XML, you'll find that a bunch of people have offered help on this.
You'll probably want to do a fresh call for team members, though, as the thread has been dormant of late.
Cheers,
Kieren.
