I am a Mac user - I love LyX - I report bugs (and sometimes bug others on the list with questions) - so please don't say "Apple users". I am sure there are even more windows users who have unrealistic expectations - and probably even some Linux users. So - yes - a page explaining the principle of free software, how it works, who works on it (a list of the core devs of Lyx would make clear how few there are...) and how all users can (and should) contribute would make a lot of sense. And not only for Apple users. Overall: good suggestion! > > SteveT > > Steve Litt * http://www.troubleshooters.com/ > Troubleshooting Training * Human Performance > -- Rainer M.
