I would be interested. If I would be successful in attracting the next LyX meeting (summer 2007?) to Finland, I intend to apply locally for some support. There are literally hundreds of funds in Finland, but most of them are very small or are unsuitable for us. BTW under "Mature, well-established codebase": "The first lines of source code were added to LyX in 1999" Huh. I started using 0.7.10 for production work in 1997.
