Ale There are a number of organizations that might be interesting for LyX hackers and enthusiasts: docbook (improve LyX docbook export) libreoffice (improve import/export converters, maybe to/from word) sage, sympy (open source computer algebra system integration in LyX) inkscape, scribus (well, I'll just list those here because our users often use these as well) Also maybe a LyX project could still be possible through the google open source programs office, although I have no idea how they select students.
