This brings me to a related topic: Would the LyX developer community mind or
welcome a "LyX wishlist" web page that collects features users would like to
see in LyX (given that these wishes would come from people who in most cases
won't contribute anything to the code)? 

I seriously consider setting up such a page, starting perhaps with static
html and then, if it succeeds, implementing a submission, ranking and
categorization system in Perl/CGI. I could also imagine interfacing such a
page with projects like "the bazaar" or "source xchange" where users can
offer money to developers for creating free software they would like to
see.

HOWEVER: I would only create such a page if the LyX developers would welcome
it as a supportive initiative from the user community. I will
_NOT_ create if developers have mixed feelings about it (being put under
pressure by users etc.etc.).

JMarc, LGB, J�rgen, ... what do you think?
