haha. No, meaning I plan to become a world famous author, and what better way
than having my works translated into lots of languages?

Well, I would agree, but it can be dangerous to be offensive to the religious
majority. And here in America, they take Christmas *very* seriously. Which is
to say, since Christmas has had all its religious meaning squeezed out of it
by commercialization, we might as well force it on all Americans, regardless
of their religion or lack thereof. But I'm probably digressing here.

Why not HTML-ize? With asger's new method, that should be easy.

Sure. Also, Henner Zeller's patch-tracker, while still cool, is no longer
"handy", and thus probably doesn't need to be mentioned. Also, I believe it's
a bit more accurate to link to David Johnson's page as LyX.html, even though
he's avoided linkrot by creating a link.
While we're at it, before the 1.0 release, it would be great if everyone could
update their personal LyX sites. For example, they could put the new mailing
list addresses up (yes, I'm talking to you, David :)

Sigh. That means INSTALL needs to get changed too.

I could've sworn I sent in a replacement.

If you pay for the ticket, room, and board for me and my wife, I'm sure
something could be arranged.
