Looking at my > skills what should I know in specific to work on these ideas(also can > I work on these ideas?). Also where should I start with. As you said your experience with LyX is quite limited, I'd say your best starting point is becoming a user: take any random excuse to use LyX instead of plain latex (or whatever else) to write, then start thinking of what YOU would like to change in order to improve the tool. As a developer, your best starting point may be our bug tracker http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome trying to address those bugs tagged as easyfix. This kind of "treasure hunt" might help you in familiarizing with the source code and getting familiar with its general structure. If you ask me, the Advanced Find and Replace is of course a feature I'd love to see evolving and improving, though I think before diving into that it is necessary a bit of preliminary sightseeing work... Please, tell us how it goes, thanks. T.
