Re: Requesting write access to the LilyPond repository

[John Gourlay]

Is there a more detailed description somewhere of how to go about this? For 
example, how do I connect to the Savannah server and get a developer account on 
it? How do I request membership in the LilyPond project there? What tool should 
I use to get the public/private key pair, etc.?
