Hi, Inspired by http://www.oooconv.de/ which is an online service to convert an open office document to a number of other formats like PDF, Word, HTML and what not, I figured such a service would be very nice to have to LyX as well.
So, at the developer's conference, how about making a new page on the web-site which does this? The user can upload a LyX or LaTeX file, and get it out as LyX, PDF, HTML, ascii, LaTeX or PS right away. Such a feature would lower the barrier to entry: now, everybody can just send out a .lyx file to someone else, and provide a link to the converter page in case they do not have LyX or LaTeX installed. If you want to get fancy, the web page could also be used to invoke lyx2lyx to convert between LyX formats. It should be a fairly easy hack to do... Regards, Asger
