I'm willing to partecipate on the student-side of the thing, so I think I'll be able to suggest my idea later, when student applications are open. About the language: what would you suggest? Maybe JavaScript would be an alternative but for Python there would be a lot of reusable code even for GUIs. Or maybe... VBA :D I've been thinking of this feature for a long time, GSoC would be a good way to spend my time on it. Adding scripting would be a step-up for LyX IMHO. venom00
