Thought it would be good to notify LyX folks, but also to write to hear a quick re-cap of what happened in the last couple of years,I'm guessing you are familiar with the following links, but if by chance you are not, take a look at: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX21 http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX22and also gather some opinions about what's best to show about the tool, in a 15-mins time window, in an event like thisDo you have any idea what the crowd will be like? Will they want to learn how to use LyX or is it more about LyX's development? Do you expect most of them to be researchers (e.g. might find LyX useful for writing academic articles)? Since there will probably be a mix, it would be cool to have a slide with weird uses of LyX, e.g. writing musing (with LilyPond). I think I've seen references of a lawyer using it, also a doctor. That might make the presentation more useful to a general audience.(besides the Advanced F&R -- are people still using that :-)?)Yes from what I see it is used quite frequently. I also personally use it myself for finding things and I really "find" it useful. However, I don't quite trust it for automatic find & replace. I've come across a few cases where it removed things it should not have. Actually, sometimes I use it for removing, but only when I manually inspect the git diff. Hope you're doing well! Scott
