GDP is not on the main lilypond website.  Please see our website here:
http://web.uvic.ca/~gperciva/


Thanks, I know that.


In particular, look at the GDP docs and the policy.txt.


So what is Music Glossary and Notation Reference relative to the  
names listed on:

  http://opihi.cs.uvic.ca/~gperciva/lilypond/Documentation/index.html

I am not particularly interested in reopening any decisions that we  
have already made.  The division of manual into the learning  
manual, user manual, and program usage is one of those decisions.


So then let's drop this discussion.

Finally, please change the subject line if you change the subject.   
We have a lot of emails about GDP, and it quickly becomes much more  
difficult to keep things straight if people change discussions  
without modifying the subject line accordingly.


I guess I put into the context of GDP. It is hard for me to read you  
mind.


I also brought forward the idea of a Wiki. These are great to put  
silly little facts one does not know where to put elsewhere.  
Abbreviations and such, for example.


Wikis are worse than useless.  Please see previous discussions  
about them on this list.


I am well aware of your particular opinion about the wikis. I use  
them all the time, as well as netsearching. Even the UNIX  
standardization team decided to set one up.


And LilyPond has the same steep learning curve problem as UNIX, as  
noted before.

Thanks, good catch.  Glossary is music glossary.  User manual is 
notation reference.


I've fixed this on the index.html.in, but the docs will need to be 
updated.  I've added this to the task list.


Cheers,
