I'd like to but it will be difficult.
I think going to Denmark will by far be the best way to solve the issues.
In the history of LyX, there has been a tradition of long and intense
discussions about this and that. They could last for weeks or months,
without any resolution.
On the other hand, at the meetings very complicated and important things
are brought up, discussed for maybe 5 minutes, and then a decision was
made.
It would be wonderful if such decision making process could be possible
in the list as well.
Things are so much easier when you meet person to person.
Sure but it would be better if there was no need to meet the manager of
a distributed project to really be effective in your contribution.
For instance, you will find that Lars is a reasonable person and a very
nice guy - exactly the opposite of what you'd think when you only read
his very short e-mails with half of the message. If you meet him, there
is a chance that you will learn to fill in the missing half.
I am sure he his but that is not the problem. We should be able to work
out the frictions without meeting face to face.
If the issue is money, I'm sure we can work something out. LyX has some
money in the bank, and I'm sure we can find some willing sponsors to
cover expenses.
Money is not the problem. Work load and family... But mucho thanks for
the invitation.
