Yesm this is recommend way of doing this. LyX already has textclases
for several styles (ams, ieee, aa, revtex and others). People are
highly encouraged to submit such layout files. Creating new textclass
is not too difficult if it is not too different from the article class.

I agree wholeheartedly with that. We need somebody to coordinate this
effort. This is typically an area where LyX users who don't consider
themselves as programmers can help.
