Lars keeps a reasonably up to date list of things he would like here: http://www.devel.lyx.org/roadmap.php3 http://www.devel.lyx.org/tasks.php3 I don't think that there's really much difference in "vapourware status" between the two pages. > From the top of my head... > > Things that should happen in 1.3.6: [ snip ... ] > Things that will be in 1.4.0: [ snip ... ] > Things that will not be in 1.4.0, but probably in 1.5.0: [ snip ... ] and of course the major point is this: Open Source software is *your software". A good way to improve it is to make suggestions. A better way to improve it is to provide some code or start a discusion. It doesn't really matter whether you consider yourself a "good" coder, a "mediocre" coder or a "totally clueless" coder. Much of the preliminary "development" of, say, support for a scripting language will be a discussion of how to proceed. Feel free to start it on the lyx-devel mailing list. As you have noted, this is a project with only a few active developers and fresh blood would undoubtedly lead to renewed vigour. All(?) of the existing developers are in their mid thirties and LyX is not their primary commitment. So, if anyone out there is interested in improving LyX, then I'd encourage you to be brave and join in. -- Angus
