The first project in our wiki page for GSOC 2014: http://wiki.lyx.org/GSoC/GSoCProjectIdeasFor2014
is, at the same time, the most ambitious and the least well-defined (possibly because the former implies the latter). It is not clear to me if this a coding project or if it defines the outline of a preliminary non-coding feasibility study that would, at most, produce a document describing the minimal-lyx and minimal-docx feature sets (plus, possibly, a minimal-lyx-layout and a minimal-doc-template). Any thought on how to make it more focused? Perhaps we could define the goals as: 1. Define a minimal-lyx feature set (I.e. the supported LyX/LaTeX features) 2. Write a corresponding lyx-layout 3. Define a minimal-doc feature set (Word/ODF features corresponding to (1) 4, Write a Word/OO template (the set of styles corresponding to 2) 5. Provide an automated path from 1 to 4 and back using glue-code and existing internal and external tools (e.g.: LyX export functions to XHTML/EPub, eLyxer, pandoc, writer2latex, etc). I am not sure points 1-5 above capture the existing description, partly because I am not sure about what is meant by "develop a framework". Perhaps my summary caputeres the subgoal only?
