I am working on making a print edition of the User's Guide.
It has several references to the Tutorial and other guides. I'd prefer to include this needed information in the same printed book.
I also start working on actualizing the docs with the goal of merging the files into one book, that could be published as printed version. (Like the pstricks- and koma-script-book, published by Dante (the german TeX user group): http://www.dante.de/help/literatur/#dante )
One idea would be to split the book up into different parts -- multiple books within one printed copy.
In my opinion there should only be two books within the book: the tutorial and the userguide.
The tutorial can be called "LyX in three days", what would be an appetizer for beginners. (As I once had to learn Delphi, I found a book with the chapter "Delphi in 10 hours". Such a chapter eases to start with a new program.)
The userguide should contain the extended and customization doc.
(I'd prefer to only have one table of contents and one index for entire printed book.)
Of course only one TOC.
BTW. I started once with a new layout for the userguide. This version with the last changes by the developers is available at
http://www.lyx.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/lyx-devel/lib/doc/
It would be nice if the new docs contains all new features of LyX 1.4.x. The only problem for me is that I'm working under Win. But possibly Angus Leeming is able to make a Win binary of LyX 1.4.0 CVS when his work of porting is ready.
