You're very welcome to add your comments below to one of the wiki pages,
or creating a separate page if you prefer. In case you don't know the
password, it's 'LyXers'. The username is not needed for editing wiki
pages, but must be given as 'lyx' when using the file manager in case you
want to upload files.

PS. If you have problems using the wiki, just ask on this list or the
documentation list. DS
