Hi folks, Well, I'm still here but unfortunately for the last few months I simply haven't found time to continue running Mutopia. I have run things pretty much on my own for eleven years now and I think the time has come to hand over to a new team, if people are interested in continuing Mutopia. I think that the idea behind Mutopia was a good one, and I think that maintaining an archive of LilyPond scores separate from IMSLP is something that is worth doing. So where to we go from here? Perhaps I can invite those interested in helping to form a new team to contact me (on or off list) and we can start a discussion as to whether Mutopia should continue as is, whether it should close, or whether it should be merged into a new project. Some things that need to be addressed: - Many scores use an old version of LilyPond - Some scores use "old" licenses - Website is old-fashioned and only available in English - Website backend/tools are an uneasy mixture of Perl and Java - Adding and updating files is a very manual process - Mutopia SVN archive is not publicly accessible On the positive side: - Over 1600 scores in high-quality LilyPond typesetting with source available - Almost all scores PD, CC-A or CC-ASA licensed - People still interested in contributing Please do let me know what you think.
