Code available on Github: https://github.com/chrisanthropic/Open-Publisher Focused on fiction, but I found the idea of being able to directly open a web page interesting --- certainly that would be really handy for some work which I do (editing the wiki for an opensource CNC machine). I think it'd be way cool to be able to select a URL in the LyX dialog, have the program figure out what the underlying source is (if it's mediawiki, or on Github, &c.) parse the source and then load that.
