Hi I guess many have seen it - LyX and it's successful application for GSoC was on Slashdot [1]. That should give some publicity.
The first comment raised an interesting (already discussed) feature which is missing in LyX: to enable the use of online LaTeX backends for compilation. This would have many advantages ranging from lighter installs (no LaTeX needed) over making the LyX on mobile devices easier to implement to more consistent results of compilation. Also, in the light of the proposal for collaborative editing, a common LaTeX backend would make much sense as the result would be the same for all and the pdf would not have to be shared after local generation.
