Hello
I know that the recent version of Lyx includes some interface to version
control,
LyX has included interfaces to vc for some time, and the new version
will extend the backends that can be used from rcs and cvs to svn and
even git, I believe. More could be added fairly simply.
but I think to simplify scientific collaboration a
wikipedia/mediwiki solution would be much more intuitive.
Why? "Intuitive" is a pretty subjective term. Perhaps what you want is
something transparent, so it isn't possible not to "check in" what
you've done. But I'm not sure that is a good idea. Maybe I want to play
around with my local copy.
The zoho (www.zoho.com) writer comes closest, it supports some math
formula and offline features. As far as I know the engine behind it is
openoffice.
So are there any plans to extend lyx in that way?
No. I suppose it could be done, but it would be a huge amount of work.
