Hi,

The Werner Icking Music Archive has announced it's no longer capable of
coping with the large amount of visitors to the site. They are
considering hosting the content somewhere else.
This archive contains much sheet music of public domain music. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_Icking_Music_Archive
http://icking-music-archive.org

I'm not sure if the content they published is in the public domain or
under a free license (by WMF's definition), but it seems worthwhile to
examine this in detail. Perhaps even offering to (temporarily?) host the
website (readonly or allow editing?) or convert it into a new Wiki
project (which – without doubt – would be a huge amount of work).

What do you think?

Regards,
--User:Church of emacs
