I get bad 'vibes' from the word 'texted'... if you verb 'text' and look at
the imperfect tempus, you get 'texted', i.e. "wrote". However, I might be
confused by Swedish here since, "texta" is a common Swedish verb that
means to write each letter separately (when you write by hand).
Some spelling alternatives:
texted mathed
text-ed math-ed
textEd mathEd
TextEd MathEd
How do the natives (English speakers) feel about this?
(And I'd also like some opinions on mini-buffer v.s. minibuffer, and
lfun v.s. LFUN)

I thought this was nicely phrased and created this page:
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/Devel/Goals
for discussing/listing development goals.
