Luckily it seems that Dick has not done a lot yet. I would be very happy to have him aboard as our Gnome person. In particular we could get some insight in what Gnome requires. I can however understand some relucance in joining the LyX team. Our gui independence is mostly laid out but has not been implemented yet, so a gnome developer could not just begin the "gnome-codifying" right away, on the other hand by joining now we can be steared in the right direction to be a very good Gnome tool. Also all parties benefits from avoiding a fork of The LyX Project. Lgb
