In my opinion as a user, a working advanced F&R is one of lyx's most needed features. It is basically unusable on long multi-file manuscripts, which is exactly where it'd be most precious. If you could serve as mentor, could you add the project on our idea page ( http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/SummerOfCode2013Ideas) and put your name down as a mentor? Or just let me or Liviu know, and we'll do it.
