Developers only

Welcome to the LyX developers only web-site.

This site is meant to be used primarily by the developers of LyX. For general information about LyX, please visit the LyX homepage instead.

This site will be expanding as we retrieve and update some of the less important pages that were lost in a crash. However, the essential resources are back on line.

LyX 1.0 has been released!

LyX 1.0.0 was released on February 1, 1999. For more information on its features, or to download it, please visit the LyX homepage. This release, coming after a long code freeze, allows the developers to focus on the new development branch, LyX 1.1; it features a kernel rewrite and toolkit independence, along with a bunch of smaller upgrades.

Help wanted!

LyX is an open source project, and we need your help! LyX is developed by volunteers from around the world. We work in our free time, and do our best, but we need your help to continuously improve!

Do you have a few bucks to spare?

If you want to show your support to the LyX effort, please consider making a donation to Lars Gullik Bjønnes to help us get a new machine to host these development resources.

Do you know C++?

If you are a programmer and can program in C++, please consider contributing to the coding effort. Get the latest cvs version, have a look at the code, and see if there is something you'd like to tangle with. Contact the LyX Developer's mailing list and we'll try to set you up.

Are you a LyX power user?

If you are a skilled LyX user, you might want to help out with the documentation effort. The LyX documentation is considered to be very good, but the development of LyX is moving faster than the DocTeam can keep up! So, if you know how to use LyX, or want to learn, get the latest docs from cvs and read the introduction which contains information on how to contribute to the documentation effort.

I understand English, but I write ...

The LyX program and its documentation are developed in English. However, many LyX developers and users write or speak other languages. Contributions for LyX internationalization are always welcome. There are three sorts of contributions you could make:
Key bindings
Allow users with US keyboards to type in various languages
Menus and commands
Translate LyX menus into other languages with .po files
Documentation
Translate the documentation into other languages. A German translation has already been mostly finished.
If you have the time, please read the User Guide chapter on Internationalization, and start translating!

I have an idea!

If you have a cool idea for a new feature, or comments in general about LyX, please share them with us. The more feedback we get from the users, the better we know what we should prioritize in the development effort.

Questions?

If you have a question regarding the development of LyX, please write us at the LyX developer's mailing list. Thanks for your help.
