-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi
let me first state, that I have enough hdd space, so it does not concern me. But I fount the following discussion on stackexchange about online LaTeX compiler [1], and I stated thinking: would it be possible to use these online compilers to avoid having to install a full LaTeX installation and to save hdd space (relevant on netbooks and, if LyX would be running on them, tablets / android devices). But apart from that: using an online compiler, would also dramatically reduce the download size and be one less piece of software to keep up to date. Disclaimer: I have never used one of these compilers, so I don't know how usable they are for LyX. But I think it would be a nice idea to implement it - and it should not be to difficult - an additional export format would need to be created which then uploads the relevant files to the online compiler (from the tmp directory) and then compiles the document.
