The only thing I know is that I don't wanna code with qt3/gtk/xform.
Maybe this is my knock out as lyx developer, at least it limits the
changes that i can propose.

I don't want you to loose motivation so rest assured that there is still plenty of things to do for Qt4 which does not touch the other frontends:

1) Transfer math panel functionality to the math toolbars:
The idea would be to generalize the work that Edwin has done for the table insertion button and to re-use that for math symbols insertion, etc.

2) Complete the Insert-Citation dialog:
It is functional right now but I had report that it does not work well with Natbib citation style for example. Also some features are still missing/imcomplete:
- select by double-clicking
- there are enable/disable problems with the delete, up and down buttons
- search as you type: the code is there but does not work still
- the advance search dialog still needs to be coded.

3) The preference dialog (QPreferenceDialog) code needs to be split out in multiple independent files. I have done the split up in the code already. Ideally, adding a new preference for the user could be as easy as putting a new dll in some extension directory.

4) The Document Settings dialog (QDocumentDialog) code needs to get the same cleanup.

5) Some new code needs to be ported from the qt3 frontend, look at the svn log: 5-a) I remember the QNote thing from Martin, he even sent a preliminar patch for qt4 but I did not have the time to look at it yet. 5-b) I remember some work from Georg and Enrico about some math symbols. I thing Georg put a FIXME in qt4 for that.

That's all I remember for now. Feel free to pick up something in this list ;-)

Abdel.
