Despite my agreements to both paragraphs above, I agree more with the first than the second. Namely, I don't see the point of keeping a list of stuff to add to the docs; that's a recipe for not getting anything done. Add stuff directly to the CG. If you really can't figure out what somebody talking about, just add something like ----- Han-Wen wrote something about contexts and accessing property data? @uref{http://lilypond-user-mailist/01234123.html} ----- to the docs. But get it into the actual docs, not yet another random webpage or issue list.
