Where do I sign up and what do I need to know about the way the current site works? I cannot write a single line of C++, my Scheme skills are meager at best (limited mostly to taking existing code and tweaking parameters), and I've only looked into MetaFont enough to send a patch to Janek to review to refine the shape note parameters to deal with unsightly MI and SO noteheads. (speaking of which, Janek... :) ). But I can do web development. Carl P.
