Hi.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189
Congrats to all involved in getting bug 189 resolved! :-)
Bug 189 was one of the oldest unresolved and one of the better known bugs in Bugzilla involving a request to add a music module to Wikimedia wikis. Quick stats about the bug:
* Opened: 2004-08-22 * Votes: 48 * Comments: 123
The bug filer is still around and left a nice note on the bug (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189#c123):
--- Congratulations to all !
It makes my dream comes true today !
Thanks million times! ---
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Note seemed like an easy target for demoing the newly deployed Score extension (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Score) on a production site, if anyone's interested. I tried looking around for a point and click lilypond or ABC code generation tool (preferably Web-based), but a lot of these tools quickly went over my head.

Wow! Congrats indeed. That's really great! I really hope this gets used a lot; I'd love to see full classical music scores on Wikipedia / Wikisource (especially since these are the least likely to be copyright-encumbered)
Regarding a lilypond code generation tool:
Last time I used lilypond, I used jEdit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/jEdit). It's not web-based, but it is open-source (GPLv2) and multi-platform (I run it on Windows and Linux). Its LilyPond plugin has a number of features (pdf generation; midi generation) and also a "virtual piano" to generate markup. See http://i.imgur.com/57wQ5op.png
If you're interested, here are some basic steps: - Download / install jedit from here: http://www.jedit.org/ - Select Plugins -> Plugin Manager - Select the Install Tab. Select and download the LilyPondTool - Depending on platform, you may have to configure the LilyPond binary path. Go to Plugins -> Plugin Options -> LilyPondTool -> Commands
Hope this is useful...

Yes, brilliant, isn't it? :-) Congratulations to all involved.

And of course, anyone who feels like taking on a major (but unbelievably cool) project could lash an existing JS Lilypond editor into VisualEditor (or, to be even more impressive, write one themselves) - it could be wonderful!

So, what should be next ancient body dredged up from Bugzilla and resurrected by Platform Engineering?
Bugs by number of votes: http://ln-s.net/-3_c
Bug 708 has the most votes, but I'm not sure if a text list in the sidebar would be prominent enough in cases where the sister project is truly relevant, for example Wikinews links on current events, or Wikivoyage links on cities. It would be a very small step towards correcting the historical lack of cross-project promotion.
Bugs 2867, 167 and 3311 are in progress in some form, so probably don't need our help.
Bug 674 then? It would fit in neatly with https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Admin_tools_development

In many ways, I view these two bugs as similar to the departed bug 189 (in terms of being old, annoying, and seemingly having had some progress made toward them, but never having gotten finished):
* https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9890 "Reasonably efficient interwiki transclusion"
* https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3311 "Automatic category redirects"
While bug 3311 is apparently slated for GSoC 2013, surely we've learned our lesson here year after year.
And bug 9890 could save thousands of man-hours per year. Given the concern that wiki editorship is on the decline, maximizing editor time by minimizing duplicate effort seems like a pretty clear win.
In my mind, I think the winner would be a proper wiki configuration graphical user interface, though. This would make MediaWiki far more attractive and robust, it would help with project sovereignty (by allowing Wikimedia stewards to implement requests for individual Wikimedia wikis and by allowing local wiki bureaucrats to administer their own wiki without the possible need for a shell user/FTP access/whatever), and it's the kind of undertaking that many outsiders are uninterested in pursuing themselves, but that would benefit both Wikimedia and MediaWiki greatly.

I think that deserves an official press release by the WMF :-D
Congratulations to everyone involved!
This is really amazing! Specially for Wikisource :-)
Is multi-page score transclusion with "Extension:Proofread page" able to generate a global midi/score file or each page has to be treated as an independent entity?

First, thank you, that is indeed a really great step. :)
Was the extension enabled on all wikimedia wikis? Wikiversity and wikibooks may also benefit from it. I already red some complaints on wikipedia fr about someone having difficulies to render gregorian partitions (supported by lilypond), so it really show you how much the community was waiting for it.
To me it make me wish even more that we had a dedicated project for original works[1].
Anyway, congratulations and thank you :)
