I for one have had large troubles when asking people to cooperate with me, because I had to give them precise instructions how to set up lyx. The image relative path thing I could solve by making lyx find the pictures using relative paths and otherwise sharing the folder using dropbox, so i didn't need to tar/untar anything. What was REALLY difficult was the .module I had written for the document. It cannot be accessed by a relative path; it needs to be inserted directly into the lyx tree. On OSX, I have to redo the module installation procedure on every update. I would like to point to how pages treats its documents. Pages documents are identified with directories, which contain the required images, texts and properties. No zipping into one archive is done. OSX then makes the directory look like a file (called a package) in finder. I think, sharing lyx documents would would be simplified by providing self-contained bundles that can be shipped around.
