Probably not the place to argue about this, but...
I think the discussion boards are at *least* 90% waste. People saying "me
too" and flames, plus people impressed with themselves trying and failing to
impress everyone else. *However*, although I never read the comments, I'm
interested by the majority of the links they provide each day. Open source
stuff, new programs that are interseting, science geek stuff, new cool
hardware. News for nerds.
The reason to be worried about lack of coverage is that they get some 400000
hits per day. From people more likely than the average cnn.com reader to
actually download lyx and try it.
