It doesn't matter whether or not they are willing - they are neither required nor necessary. Most of the tools involved are freely redistributable. So use the Linux model: Let the LyX developers keep doing what they are doing, while third parties bundle LyX with other tools to create a complete bundled application. This works for Linux and for Python; it ought to work for LyX. So, if you want such a distribution, you should feel free to create it. It would be nice if it could be hosted at lyx.org, but even that's not a requirement. If you can't, I'll donate space for it at mired.org. <mike -- Mike Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
