As result I wrote this lengthy mail and hope you read it till
the end where I make some proposals:
Obviously nobody has any comments on my thoughts about LyX's future.
That is sad because I only got few private mails as replies stating that
indeed the missing fileformat conversion capabilities are a real problem
in real life.
So what can be done? In my opinion, we should
- define the goal of LyX together with our users. Maybe the result is to
hide background stuff, maybe it is the opposite. Whatever it might be,
that should be the base for future development.
- setup a "board of development" that take care of user feedback and who
define the things the next version of LyX should have. Such a board
should only be 50% consist of developers. Translators are not treated as
developers. The idea is to see what people really need and to organize
its development so that several developers develop a certain feature.
I only made these 2 proposals and thought they are worth to be considered.
It is OK not to agree, but what about other ideas or do you think we
should just continue as we did the last months? I mean criticism should
be constructive. So I would her your ideas for future development.
thanks and regards
Uwe
