From crantila at acanac.net Fri Jan 14 06:47:04 2011 From: crantila at acanac.net (Christopher Antila) Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2011 00:47:04 -0500 Subject: [tug-summer-of-code] Summer of Code Proposal for 2011 Message-ID: <1294984024.3134.47.camel@franklin-willibald-tovey.1-265regina> Hello: I don't know if anybody else has started to think about Google Summer of Code yet, or if anybody is watching this list yet, but I have an idea! I would like to write documentation for LaTeX and various extensions that might be used for scholarly musical research. This would primarily involve LaTeX itself, the extensions required to run the biblatex-chicago pacakge, and the commands and procedures required to integrate LilyPond-generated musical scores. Although the above-listed components already have well-written documentation, learning how to use the software takes a significant amount of effort, experimentation, and sifting. What makes this document unique from other existing documentation is, essentially, its single-mindedness. The target audience would be music scholars and students, but I would be careful to write certain sections so they are useful to anybody who uses the Chicago Manual of Style. If the TUG would welcome use-case-specific documentation, I will be happy to provide more information on the scope of the envisioned project, and my previous experience.

If you wanted to participate, you would have to develop some useful tools as well. Mojca
