OK; I'm happy to work with you on this, but it will
need you to be able to build the web.  This in turn means
you need to be able to obtain the source in a git repository.
The way to do this is in the Contributor's Guide, section 2.
Unless you're git-aware use lily-git described in 2.1.

The first step is to work through CG 2.1 and send me a test
patch set.  Anything will do, but we may as start with one of
the web css's.  When you have the source available navigate to
Documentation/css, make a trivial change to lilypond.css
(anything will do for a test - "WB woz 'ere" for example)
save it, and send me a patch set.  When you've done that
successfully we can go on to something more concrete.

BTW, I see you use Apple Mail; does that mean you use a Mac?

I'll take a look at the CSS bug, #1105. Although I'm more interested 
in how Lilypond itself works, I am comfortable with CSS and it seems 
like a helpful way to get my feet wet. I'll have to figure out how 
the website stuff is generated and the styles are referenced so I 
can figure out what is being used.
