Depends on your definition of "active". But it's a rather manageable number. In any case, the project needs every helping hand. > Jürgen> It is.

Actually, I did not know any C++ either before starting LyX development.

If you know Python, there are also some things to do. > (otoh, I've installed 2.0alpha and will try to do some more thorough > testing to possible produce some nice report.) ;) That's a good way to contribute as well. > Sincerely, > Gour Jürgen
