Dear LyX devels, in light of all the recent discussions, my latest report, and the fact that GSOC 2014's application window is about to open (March 10), it'd be great if we could reach some consensus on the projects' goal and approaches.
My current view of the matter is this: 1. We have two projects: export to Word and round trip conversion to be pursued independently 2. Export to Word requires LaTeX processing and is therefore best pursued with tex4ht and by adding/contributing to its own current functionalities. 3. Round trip conversion is best pursued by exporting directing to Word XML-based format from within LyX code (i.e. from the C++/Qt side) for the LyX-to-Word trip and with either C++/Qt or Python for the reverse Word-to-Lyx trip. N.B. "Word" stands for docx|odt throughout Comments welcome.
