seeking maintainer/developer for Lyx/Mac

[Ronald Florence]

For the last two years I've enthusiastically taken on the port of LyX to 
MacOS X, including the Qt/X11 version and LyX/Mac, which uses the GPL 
Qt/Mac library to build a version of LyX for the native Mac Aqua 
graphics display.  Jean-Marc Lasgouttes and the other members of the LyX 
developers team have created such splendidly portable code, and they are 
so helpful and knowledgeable that the ports were relatively easy.  As a 
result, LyX/Mac-1.3.4 is a stable, highly functional, and very 
easy-to-install MacOS X application.  I've very much enjoyed being part 
of the porting and packaging effort.

But, I am now heavily engaged in a new book (#9) and have virtually no 
time available to me for further development or maintenance work on 
LyX/Mac.  The new versions of LyX that are emerging from the development 
team need a new maintainer/developer for the MacOS X platform.  A 
knowledge of LyX internals, C++, and MacOS X development is useful, but 
if I can learn-on-the-job, I suspect anyone with an interest can.  The 
pay stinks, but you'll have the privilege of working with a remarkably 
bright and simpatico group of developers, the eternal gratitude of Mac 
users of LyX, and the pleasures of working with a terrific product.

Write me offline or in one on one of these mailing lists for details of 
the status of LyX/Mac-1.4.0.  Regards, and thanks to whoever is willing 
to become the new adoptive parent/guardian of this thriving baby.
