of that?


If someone has a nice article or something about LyX, we can retweet it.


I suppose a downside is that it seems a little less serious, but I
don't know if serious is what we want to aim for. When I think about
it, I have trouble thinking about what extra information a LyX is
great! tweet gives, but for some reason I think that's what many
people would like to see. This is a complete guess and I'm pretty new
to Twitter but I've observed similar (almost informationless)
retweeting behavior a lot. And I like it but don't a good reason for

I want to keep it quite serious. People interested in LyX should get

 The last one is useful to retweet maybe.

Why maybe ? I don't think there will be any more tweets that are
more serious and informative than that. Perhaps you meant that it is
two months old? I don't suggest tweeting it now; I'm just trying to
get an idea of which type you would want to tweet if they are recent.

 The others are nice, but don't
 really seem to add anything.

OK. That's fine with me. I have a better idea of which tweets you do
not want to retweet. In any case, I would ask you (and anyone else if
they want to be bothered) before retweeting anything for a while.

LyX twitter account ?

Any interest in having a LyX twitter account? I would like to set one
up but would only do so if others would find it interesting.

Potential advantages:
-- get news out (e.g. GSOC, 2.1 beta)
-- occasionally show off a new feature (Tomasso want to share your LyX

-- ask for feedback (I imagine there are people who do not want to
subscribe to the lyx-users list but would be happy to give feedback on

LyX twitter account ?

2013-10-24 Thread Scott Kostyshak 
Any interest in having a LyX twitter account? I would like to set one
up but would only do so if others would find it interesting.

Potential advantages:
-- get news out (e.g. GSOC, 2.1 beta)
-- occasionally show off a new feature (Tomasso want to share your LyX
chat idea?)
-- ask for feedback (I imagine there are people who do not want to
subscribe to the lyx-users list but would be happy to give feedback on
something if they are following LyX)
-- retweet some things. This would give people a way of following LyX
tweets that don't have to do with luxury (this is what "lyx" means in
Swedish and is the most common use of the hashtag).

Here are some selected relevant tweets with #lyx:

It feels good to finally be free from the tyranny of #PowerPoint (and
clones) now that I create my slides with #Lyx and the beamer class.

Just showed #lyx to a colleague and realized again how awesome LaTeX
is! #documents #latex #canbesoeasyandnice http://www.lyx.org/

Why does #MSWord corrupt docs when it crashes? #libreoffice and #lyx
don't. Just happened again #groan

Create #LaTeX documents graphically with #LyX

I think this is a good idea, but perhaps most LyX developers may not
want to waste much time on SNS like the our generation :) LyX does
have a Google+ page:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/110001097193208807095/about but as you can
see, it is not actively maintained, and I have no idea who is behind
that account.

Yihui
