As I recently said in an earlier email, the proper way to get the LyX
Docs synchronized is for the developers to start writing new entries
for "Reference.lyx". Someone else can come along and edit them for
correct English, as well as prune "dead" entries.
The updated "Reference.lyx" can then serve as the information source
for updating the other docs.

None, I fear.

Most likely, since the developers don't seem to want to or have time
to add entries to "Reference.lyx" (which is really quite painless, BTW).

No, the rule is that the English docs are updated first. Translation
projects will then use the new English docs as the information source
for updating their own versions.
Why English? Well, everyone on this list appears to have a good grasp
of it. Only a few of us can speak French or German or Danish, so that
would limit the pool of DocTeam and Translation Project members. ;)
