I, at best, *pretend* to be a web developer.  As far as MEAN goes, I 
have really only done the most with Node.JS itself, only dabbling with 
the other three.  That said, I am a pretty quick learner of new 
languages and frameworks, so I can definitely help you look into options 
for getting the site up and running.  Though, we should probably take 
that discussion offline.

While I wouldn't think to subject people to my helper functions, your 
phrasing is uncannily accurate as I have in fact been using LilyPond for 
about ten years.  *x-files theme plays*  But I fully understand your 
point about what would be more useful as a package.  In practice, I 
would first review any helper functions to see if they could be 
generalized into a more widely applicable pattern, otherwise there is 
little point of publishing them.

All in all, I thank you for providing so much great information, Urs.  
Hopefully, I will be able to contribute in some way and help out the 
project.
