Even if you don't have time to work on it, you could perhps give instruction
what to start/what is missing? P

Great! No worries about lack of time. Everyone understand that.

Agreed. Work on something that is fun for you.

Since you mentioned Windows specific issues, you can take a look at
bugs with the component "windows-installer":
http://www.lyx.org/trac/query?status=accepted=assigned=new=reopened=~=windows-installer
and bugs with the keyword "os=windows":
http://www.lyx.org/trac/query?status=accepted=assigned=new=reopened=~os%3Dwindows

Hi Dima,

welcome from me as well! We can always need some helping hands, and as you 
might have found out already especially windows build procedure needs help.

That would be great! Could you provide your modifications as a patch please? 
I read your description in text form, but having a patch ensures that there 
are no misunderstandings. If you did not yet use git to get the sources I 
suggest you do that now (you will need it anyway if you plan to contribute 
more), then it will be easy to produce a patch.

You might have seen the thread "Compiling with Microsoft Visual C++", where 
racoon has trouble to build with MSVC 2015. Maybe you have an idea how for 
troubleshooting?

It would surely not hurt to have somebody who knows how it should be in
the first place.

My advice in general is to start with something that you think is easy
to fix and that bothers you personally. More ambitious yet realistic
changes come naturally after being acquainted with the code.

Hello Dima,

welcome on board!

For the others on this list: Dima volunteered to help LyX with compiling 
it on Windows, provide support for Win Vista builds (which I cannot do), 
to have a look at the Hebrew translation and therefore also to 
right-to-left (a.k.a. BiDi writing).


Dima, while we are at it, There are some open BiDi bugs in LyX:

http://www.lyx.org/trac/query?status=accepted=assigned=new=reopened=~=BiDi+Support=~=~=id=summary=reporter=status=type=severity=keywords=1=id

Maybe you can fix one or two of it if you like. This would help LyX and 
you would be more familiar with lyX's code structure.
In my opinion LyX has a high potential in the Arabic-, Hebrew- and 
Persian-speaking world but our BiDi support could be better. For Arabic 
we need some more translations. Maybe you know anybody who wants to help 
LyX with e.g. Arabic translation?


Don't get me wrong, of course you can work on whatever you like. It was 
just a pointer of a possible start. Since you are an experiences LyX 
users you surely have found your own corner cases in which you might 
improve LyX.


best regards
Uwe

I haven't had much extra time on my hands lately, but I'd like to keep
working on the epub export as well. I could also help with some of the
Python issues and the occasional XHTML export bug. Scott suggested the
latter a little while back, but I made the mistake of checking my email
when I didn't have time to write out a response and forgot about it until
now. - Josh

Nothing specific, except maybe focus on Windows-specific issues. So far the
only thing I did was modify the CMake configuration a bit to make 2.2.0 work
on Vista again. See discussion here:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/10186

I'd like to see it make into an official build eventually, instead of just
being a private patch / separate release.

Thanks for this email. We'll add you to the credits once there are
patches that need crediting.

Is there something specific you'd like to work on?
