Do you just mean compile .lyx files on the cloud? Or do you mean a complete LyX editor in a web browser? Is the idea that this would be useful if you don't want to install anything on your computer or if you want to be able to work from any computer (e.g. at the library)? But for this one could just ssh with X into a computer that has LyX, no?
Scott, I and a collaborator (who is new to LaTeX) could both work on the same document. I did not propose the LyX version but asked if anyone has experience with this LaTeX-sharing tool for collabortive writing using LaTeX. The alternatives are sending the .tex or .lyx file back and forth or keeping it in a subversion (or git) repository and each checking out the latest version. The 'cloud' is just the latest idea to generate business by those who have spare room on file servers and untilled bandwidth available. Regardless of whether a lyx version is attempted I (and perhaps others) would like to learn of the experiences of those who have used the LaTeX version. Rich
