That's smart.
LyghtLyX (got the word-pun?) should know that with that document, he is working
on a project, for which he relies on the config supplied by a file and related
to another machine - config problems are entirely THAT machine's problem. He
doesn't care. If he can't give a visualization of a image or external material
etc. he simply put this message in a in-text-box "I can't show you this image".
He should be self-conscious of his different nature (that's the reason I used
HE and not IT...).
I think this should hold for FullyLyX too. You should be able to use LyX
without any Latex and/or Image conversion applications. Of course some
export functions don't work and some images can't be converted, but
plain text, etc. should work.
I read many opinions, and, although we need more, I made my mind that this LyX
version should taken in serious consideration by main developers,
.. I hope I'm closing in on that ;-) ..
and we need
to know how much work should this require.
As you understand by now, I only see improvements to LyX without the
need for having a different application. And improvements are of course
always worth implementing.
As a non-programmer I have no idea,
but I guess it's less complicated than work on some rtf converters (which, btw,
I strongly encourage, of course), the most complicated thing could be re-design
the way LyX approach a document: now it should approach a PROJECT, and, even if
I have NO experience nor any knoledge with project-management-software, I guess
could be a interesting advance with respect to LaTeX or other scientific
software.
This should definitely be a feature of LyX ... sometime, but that is a
little different topic.
Anyway, hope that with last suggestion I contributed to move back the
discussion to original problem: collaboration.
I thought the whole discussion on LyghtLyX was for improved collaboration.
