I think you only forgot Joost (among the currently active ones), which is doing a superb job with the Windows installer. I feel honoured that you include me in that list even if I consider myself only an half-developer, as the time I can spare on lyx development precludes big contributions from me. I hope I can find the time to fix some long standing bugs such as the html export, though. > As a release manager I am a firm believer in the principle of > "releasing > earlier, release often", I also believe that as a project we will only > survive and thrive if we present a stable product to our users as well to > (prospective) future developers.

I don't know what others think, but I would not add a mistake to another mistake. I mean, it was a mistake the sudden drop of qt3, but now that the decision was made it would be another mistake to revert it. However, I would like to know what Bo thinks about it, as he is left in the cold with his Cygwin port. > Thank you for reading until this point. :-) It's always a pleasure reading resonable argumentations ;-) -- Enrico
