If you know some combination musician/developers, please feel free to send them my way! :-) And I know Mark Hershberger recently committed the LilyPond extension for MediaWiki[0] into Subversion[1], and it is getting reviewed there. That's a good way current MediaWiki developers can contribute to improving the state of music scholarship on Wikimedia projects.
Take a look at the music markup discussion on meta.[2] Basically, the Wikimedia community needs someone to write a MediaWiki extension that will let users insert musical notation and have it show up as sheet music within a Wikipedia page, or improve the existing LilyPond extension to a deployable state. For those who don't know, Ting Chen is the chair of the Wikimedia Board of Trustees.[3] Thanks for the suggestion, Ting.
