Thanks Christian,
I will try to upload the pictures and add additional material (you're
right, the example files could be good). I will also try to continue
with instruction on how to add templates, etc. Unfortunately I'm
locked up until the end of next week, so it may take some time.

You're more than welcome to place the guide on the wiki - it should
work
well. Actually, as a relaxation exercise I took ten minutes and
used your
webpage as original and put a "wikified copy" of it here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Playground/LyXOnMacInstallGuide
This is just to show you how the markup would be in case you'd like to
keep it on the wiki. If so, we should move it out of the playground
area
:-)
Right now the images are all links to your site - the images can of
course
also be stored on the wiki, they can simply be uploaded using the file
manager.
http://wiki.lyx.org/ipfm/index.php/
where user=lyx, password=LyXers.
If you'd like to split the information over several pages, there's
something called 'wiki trail' [1] that's an easy way to help the
reader go betweeen the pages (prev/next/up).

PS. Let me know if you'd like to use the wiki for this and run into
any
problems
PPS. I placed a comment at the end.. perhaps links to the actual
.lyx-examples are useful (with/without ae), as well as the
corresponding
PDFs?
