I've talked to Andrei, Rex etc and from a design point of view, we're

I've modified

(btw, it's easier to work with the wiki version, i.e.

Anyway, I've used the toc to and restructured it... we can simply
colour code the issues that we feel must be done before a release.
Please have a look, so far I haven't really added any.
I've also put my name down for some of the issues that I'll look at.

Regarding the Download section, I think it is a bit too complex in the
current state. Normally this is very a new user heads and it should
IMHO contain short and to-the-point instructions on how to get LyX up
and running.
Based on this I think that the Download page should state under Mac
OSX that a TeX installation is needed (preferably with a link to MacTeX).
If the similar is made for Windows and Linux the Software requirements
section (which is currently very vague) is redundant.
Further Subversion access should be moved to the Development page
This gives a quick list of what needs to be installed to get LyX with
"batteries included" for a newcomer.
As for the Additional software page I believe this can be moved into
the wiki (or should that be named the wiki-wiki now ;-) since these
are more advanced items that you need some more understanding of LyX
to be able to use. Also the current info is a bit misleading. For
example ImageMagick tools is listed as "required", but if a Mac user
installs MacTeX they don't need to worry. Also Aspell is listed as
"required" whereas in reality it is not.
Finally: A big thank you to all involved for all the efforts with the
new site. It looks great!

I think those are good points, Anders. I took out the "Additional
Software" link that I put in the sidebar, since it's linked to on the
downloads page. As for the Mac-specific changes, maybe you or someone
else familiar with Mac aspects can make those changes, since I'm not
familiar with the Mac installation process.
