:-) That is _exactly_ why I am writing my "Linux for Academia - for social 
science and humanistics".

I love LyX and the LyX documentation (it's even fun to read!). But I am afraid 
that the average students from social science will find the parts about 
formulas and technical xfigs a bit scare as an introduction. I am not writing 
a new manual (the existing one is way to good for that), but introducing my 
target group (coming from MS-Word and Endnote) to Lyx and showing them how 
they can benefit from it. After my step-by-stip demonstration in making a 
report thay can use the manual. 

My point is that we have a large group of people here who can really benefit 
from the Lyx/Jurabib combination - and I am so happy to read that something 
good is waiting for us.

I'll be happy to.
