Hi everyone, Thanks for the replies. I went ahead and made some content changes to the front page and to the "Download Links" page. I am attaching the patch to this email. This is my first time using SVN or doing anything of this nature, so please let me know if I did it wrong.

How can I get started with learning the internals of LyX so that I can do these tasks? For example, I am unfamiliar with the LyX markup language, as well as the overall architecture of the LyX program (e.g. where csv2lyx would be called from, etc.) Also, if there are any other good beginner tasks for someone new to LyX (preferably in Python), please point me to them! :) By the way, are patches usually submitted over the mailing list, or is there some other way of submitting them?
