I started this thread for various reasons, one of the main reason is
that I miss a concept for LyX and the 2.1 release. What is our plan
for advertisement, when do we think it is a good time to release, who
of the press people do we ant to inform, what do we think is our
market scientific-only, schools, business usage, .... According to
our decision we can develop a small campaign.
For some releases, we had a small "PR" team. That was good, but it is
not something that was decided by a committee at release time. This work
is begun when one feels that the release is looming. This time, we don't
have it.
PR is just another feature of a release. Just as we cannot decide in
advance who is going to develop what feature, we cannot force anybody to
do PR. And it would be too late anyway for big plans.
I mean every country has its own specialties and with a strategy who
we want to address and how we will find a suitable release date.
Hmm, I see it coming... A different release date for different
countries. And then we could have region codes like DVDs to prevent
people to use LyX in a region of the world when we do not want it to be
used? :)
This is what happens when we think too much. Let's just stop
procrastinating and release the thing.
