I would rather move all the stuff about contributing (other than reporting
bugs) to DocStyle. This is often the first thing they read (it should be)
and having this stuff here is just silly IMHO
Also ditch the "DANGER DANGER" thing. It is NOT a good thing to have as the
first page of an introduction. I'm not suggesting we hide the fact
lyx is short on documenters (thought the docs that exist are on the whole
very good), but we shouldn't shove it in their faces.

why is it not pertitent ? just because it's horrendously out of date ?

is this really where bibtex is hidden ? I think it should be promoted a little more.
You don't really
need to know latex to use it...

this would be an ideal time to standarise on this terminology. I think we discovered
last little survey,
that "dialog" was most definitely the better known term.
