Dear Pulkit,
Thank you for your interest in the LyX community. Many projects have
already been discussed extensively in the last two weeks. Please take a
look at the mailing list archive:

However, I am not sure if the "LyX presentation mode" has been brought up
yet. The basic problem there is that LyX is designed to edit text, not
presentations. So there are a number of things that would make editing
presentations more intuitive; in particular, a preview of the given
slide/"page" within LyX would be very nice.

Hi all,
My name is Pulkit Jain and I am a fourth year undergraduate at the Indian
Institute of Technology Kharagpur enrolled in the course of Mathematics and
Computing. I wish to participate in Google Summer of code, 2013. Browsing
through the list of organisations, I came across LyX GSoC'13 page. I
visited the Ideas page and "*LyX Presentaiton Mode *and*Toolbar
customization dialog*" projects caught my interest.
I have significant programming experience and have been coding for the past
6 years. I have had courses in Algorithms, Database Management Systems,
Switching and Finite Automata Theory, Object Oriented Systems, System
Programming, Compiler Design, Operating Systems, Computer Software, etc. I
have also done a research project related to improvement of methods used
for Credit Card Fraud Detection using Genetic Algorithm and Hidden Markow
Models and another project related to optimization of data transfer in
networks. I have substantial skill in C, *C++*, Java, Python. I am ready to
learn anything which will be required to complete the project.
I hope that my background is good enough. I am highly keen to participate
in GSoc'13 in your organisation. I shall be grateful if anyone can point to
me where should I start in order to make a good proposal for the above
mentioned ideas.
Sorry for this late introduction, as I was busy with my college examinations.
Thanking You,
Yours sincerely,
Pulkit
