I am more than willing to mentor you for the initial stages --
i.e. setting up git, compiling, and making a small patch to the
docs.  I know you don't want to work on the docs, but I'm just
thinking of a 5 or 6-line patch to one of the pages on the
website.  It'll only take 5 minutes of non-generic development
time.  Deal?  :)
(I mean, all the extra time over those 5 minutes would be spent
de-tangling problems that you'd encounter with code patches, so in
that sense the extra time wouldn't be wasted)


To begin with, find the lily-git script.  I wish I could tell you
that the link was in the CG, but you arrived about one week too
early for that.  :(

If you remember gitweb, go there and find the scripts/auxiliar/
directory; download lily-git, then run that on the command-line:
  chmod u+x lily-git.tcl
  ./lily-git.tcl

you can run it directly from your desktop or download folder or
wherever the file ended up.

Cheers,
- Graham
