No idea about that, but the documentation could certainly be an issue.
In general, I think we should be careful about changing the menu
structure, and also that we should have good reasons for the changes. In
a perfect world, we'd even document _why_ we do the changes.
It will need a VERY detailed WHY, to get any approval/consensus even
here on the devel-list, only.
I haven't followed this thread, so the following idea has probably
already been raised, but just in case it hasn't: I think it'd be a good
idea to ask users for feedback on the menu structure.
Indeed.
Maybe by releasing
a separate "version" of LyX so that users can actually test it. Or by
presenting the structures (old, new1, new2 etc) to a wider range of
users as menu trees or something.
If it's only a matter of changing the menu configuration file[*], you
could publish that file on the users' list and ask for feedback.
Yes. It only needs change of the menu configuration file, so we could do
that. (Hmm... some things are hard-coded though, I believe.)
