Yes, and this would be required for them to get a patch into Lyx
anyway, and should absolutely be part of the assignment.
I do not know how formal you are going to do this assignment, but for
bugs not much are needed..., for new features it would be really nice
if a formal design were present (we have been bad at those).
How long period is this assignment ment to take?
Would be fun to get 200 developers for a short while :-)
I promises, as long as it does not conflict with RL, I'll du my best
to encourage and help.
