In August I put in a request for a couple improvements to LyX outline
mode that would stratospherically launch productivity. See it here:

http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/6174
The enhancement described, or even something close, would enable authors
to construct from scratch outlines within LyX, enhancing the organization
and value of their documents. It would also limit mistakes as the author
flips between outline view and document view. I see right now it's owned
by "nobody", and it would be wonderful if it could be addressed. If the
enhancement as I described it is too difficult to code in time for
release, I can work with the developer to simplify the enhancement while
still retaining its value.
One way to trigger the interest of a developper is to create a sponsor
project like we've done for the inline spellchecker or the compare
feature; see:
http://www.lyx.org/Donate
I can set up such a project for you if there's interest in sponsorship
in the list (not for me).

Hi Abdel,
The trouble I see with that is a project can languish waiting to get up to the
"minimum to get the project started", whereas if it were just "whoever wants
it take it", it might get done right away.
Well, if we take the two existing (and completed) project as example
then this is wrong as I started the inline spellchecker before the
amount of money reached the minimum required et Vincent did the same for
the compare project. But that's maybe because we both are big
contributors anyway...
However, I'll pledge that WHEN a developer completes the better outline mode,
I'll Paypal him/her $40 US Dollars. If a lot of people do the same, that would
be pretty nice.
We could also create a new sponsor project like that indeed.
Abdel.
