Stephen Witt has been doing some great things for LyX/Mac. Given that
I have not had time or expertise to really advance LyX/Mac, and given
his abilities and enthusiasm, I have asked him if he would like to
take over as LyX/Mac maintainer. He has agreed.
For now, at least, the plan is for Stephen to take over the
LyX/Mac-2.0.0 release but leave at least the 1.6.6 release to me.
(We'll see what happens for 1.6.7.)
I've given Stephen the XCode source for LyX-installer.app. As I've
indicated before, I think we ought to do away with a separate
installer in favor of a script that can get run when LyX is launched.
But I'll leave the decision of what to do with it up to Stephen. (If
the installer persists, though, it should go into the svn repository.)
As I told Stephen, I'll still be around on the devel and users list,
still compiling recent trunk and branch, still pestering people to fix
Mac and other bugs, etc. And, of course, I'll still be using and
benefiting from LyX itself, without which I'd now find it very hard to
do any serious work.
So thanks, Stephen, for your good work so far and for the
contributions I'm sure you'll make in the future.
And thanks, Bennett, for your work as LyX/Mac maintainer. We'll thank
you for the other stuff you mentioned later. ;-)
