Thanks, I already did the wiki part: http://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/ELyXer The project currently lives on nongnu.org: http://www.nongnu.org/elyxer/ As to what happened, after some time (and with a certain perspective) I can tell you my subjective impressions and we can compare notes afterwards. My offer for integration of eLyXer got quite a hostile reception: some deserved criticism was received, along with some undeserved bashing. Apparently it conflicts with some future switch to an XML format which will solve all problems. In the end very little help was offered (with the honorable exception of Uwe Stöhr) and much infighting was caused so I withdrew the offer. Right now my efforts are focused on making eLyXer even better, as you can see in the changelog: http://www.nongnu.org/elyxer/changelog.html I have a pending request to make a better exporter (and copier) from within LyX, but lack expertise to do a good job currently. My hope is that eLyXer will be distributed along LyX on some major platforms (Windows, Ubuntu, maybe Mac) and more people will have access to it. (By the way, the switch to elyxer.py has been ready for some time now, Uwe.) Meanwhile some folks are trying to make LyX export HTML directly but haven't started figuring out how. I don't think they will ever release anything, and yet cannot blame them for trying. Alex.
