I think some form of promotion/advocacy would really be a good idea. I
have heard it said that LyX was thought to be Linux's salvation for the
desktop. This is no doubt a bit of an oversimplification, but does
highlight the strategic importance of this application to the continued
rise of Linux, and indeed Linux to the continued rise of LyX. Getting
this message across, and showing the benefits of LyX as an application,
is therefore important. Books get this message out of the ether and
into the hands of software-using public.
