Hello LyX Community, After several months collecting experiences with LyX I'm really convinced of this writing and publishing tool. I would like to use it in many writing and publishing projects as possible.
But there is one problem I do not know how to solve: In my scientific environment (education, humanities) nobody is using LyX and just one co-operation partner uses LaTex. But I have many projects where several people are contributing to a report or a book. Normally in these projects people are using MS Word or OpenOffice. Conversion texts from LyX to OO and back is pretty cumbersome and does not preserve the great advantages of LyX formatting. I would like to ask if there are some experiences or tips how to co-operate with Non-Lyx users in writing/publication projects. I'm especially interested in strategies where the text is elaborated from several partners sending the text via E-Mail back and forth or using Google Docs. How to proceed? I could try to convince them to use LyX but in these projects we are always short in time. So everybody is using his/her well known system, and this means as default always Word or OO. Some ideas and/or sharing experiences would be very appreciated. Peter
