* Better help files.


Feel free to write some. :-)



* More and better latex chapter-page templates, which offer neat layouts...


You mean the title pages for chapters? Could be useful. would need 
someone who knows good designs.




* Closer integration between layout on Lyx and typesetting (on
wordprocessor), so that when one file gets changed, the other gets
automatically updated.


What do you mean here?  whenever you change something in LyX, the output 
also changes (after hitting the appropriate button that updates the 
dvi/pdf view.) Doing this fully automatic would waste a lot of
processing power as most people don't watch the preview continously. 
There is normally no need.  Or did you mean something else?

This is a manual how to hack LaTeX with low-level commands. LyX is designed _not_ to hack LaTeX and 
therefore such wonderful document classes like koma-script and memoir were developed. I suggest to 
have a look at the documentation of these two classes - you will be surprised what you can do with 
them without the need of ugly, massive preamble hacks.

This is very general. What do you have in mind in particular? I tried to describe as many things as

Help menu. What do you miss?

What do you mean? The possibilities depend on the document class you are using. The standard report 
class doesn't have all features, because it was designed to be the standard/consensus. When using a
