Mike makes a good point. He wants to help with testing and improving the
documentation but cannot because of the file format. What is our policy
on updating the file format? I believe we only do that when we have to
update the format because we are using a new feature. Is that right?

Mike, we could tell you how to (without needing to compile) use lyx2lyx
to convert the new documentation back to e.g. alpha1-1 format so you
could read it. I'm not sure if that would help or not.

By the way, thanks for your interest in testing, Mike!

Scott
