Comment #5 on issue 1217 by percival.music.ca: clean up undocumented  
regtests in 2.14.0.

I agree in principle, but I'd prefer a tweak: I want James to be  
supervising the regtest stuff.  He can copy&paste stuff into the docs, but  
I want other people to be doing the legwork.

PREPARATION
- James makes sure he can edit the wiki.  If relevant, James also gets  
admin on the wiki, so that he can authorize new users to edit pages.  (that  
may or may not be necessary)
- James emails lilypond-user, asking for volunteers to work on this.  He  
explains that we need people to look through regtests, we need people to  
explain how a regtest works (in 2-3 sentences), we need people to make  
minor changes to the .ly files to make them more doc-friendly.

WORKLOAD
- people add "missing regtests" to the wiki
- other people, or maybe the same people, write (in email form)  
documentation for each feature.
- James dumps them in Notation, adds whatever minor formatting is required,  
maybe adds a few @seealso if necessary -- but no more than 15 minutes of  
work for each new feature.  Anything that would take longer than that gets  
kicked back to volunteers.


We need fresh blood in the documentation stream, and I cannot supervise  
them without abandoning GOP and/or GLISS.  Since each new feature here is  
very limited in scope, this is an ideal task for him to start supervising  
people.
