Though I have so far only worked a little bit on the Danish translation - and 
have no experience with the management of open source projects, I am going to 
chip in...

I agree with Jürgen that it would be best to disable quite a number of the 
entries in the export menu -- maintaining the option to enable/disable each and 
everyone of them in the Preferences. Same goes for View/Update other formats -- 
when one solely needs to work with either pdflatex or XeTeX/LuaTeX it seems 
unnecessary to have all the other TeX -> some-path -> PDF options around.

... and it makes it just a little bit harder to promote LyX to friends and 
family with all those convoluted abbreviations staring back at you :-)

So - as a possible new developer on LyX - what do I need to learn to clean-up 
the export menu?

Best regards,
Jesper
