Hi, An idea came to my mind so I feel compelled to share :)
Wouldn't it be nifty to hack the wiki enough to allow it to work on lyx files? That way we could have wiki-ed lyx user's manual -- I don't think there are any projects out there that allow online updating of the manuals. Since lyx has quite a few users, and sometimes when referring to the manual the users come up with small but useful changes, the simplest way (from a user's standpoint) would be to have it in a wiki. It already does all the change and history tracking for us, essentially it would need to be taught some of lyx's ideas about paragraph environments and would need to get a TeX previewer which (hopefully) is already available for wiki elsewhere. In order not to hack the wiki too much, most of existing markup could be preserved and lyx-specific things added, necessitating some (hopefully non-perl :) wizardry to convert back and forth. I'm thinking of initially supporting only whatever the manual needs, i.e. not making it general so that it would work with arbitrary document classes. That could be added later if there's demand. Side note: I'm *not* volunteering to implement it (not now, at least), unless somebody has some marketable and transferable free time, and cheap at that, so that I could buy it. Deeds to free time, anyone? ;) Cheers, Kuba
