One thing that has to be said now (should have been said much earlier).
If a website based on any dynamically served CMS wants to get *any*
chance there must be a totally clear/clean separation from the manuals.
These are built during from LilyPond's source and have to be served
statically.
Additionally there has been *very strict* opposition to anything other
than statically served sites for lilypond.org in the past. Not all of
the reasons are bullet-proof but most are, and you will not get consent
for anything else. As Henning posted while I was writing this you should
look up earlier discussions on both the lilypond-user and the
lilypond-devel list in order to know what kind of discussion you're
dealing with.
