http://www.devel.lyx.org/~rae/

has links.  I want to rework these a bit using the pdfscreen class that
Dekel sent to the list but they should be okay for what you need.  If not
the source is included so you can edit them ;-)

I'll help you if needed.

To paraphrase some famous Roman senator/emporer whose name eludes me:
We have a paucity of document classes.

I'd like to push LyX into the conference and journal submission circuit
and hopefully work with major conferences/organisations to ensure they
have a LyX template available from the outset.  The biggest problem with
this that I found when discussing this at the CCP2000 when I was there is
that every conference in a given field like Physics has its own idea of
what format should be used and to make things more interesting each
iteration of a given conference like CCP also uses a different format.
(IEEE is so much better in this regard -- they might seem like the borg at
times but at least every IEEE conference uses the exact same conference
format (which LyX supports).  BTW, I've been an IEEE member for 10 years
now so I guess I'm one of the borg ;-)

So I guess the answer to your question is "yes."

Allan. (ARRae)

Probably they know you as LyX developer whereas I am just some LWN reader

Talking about publicity, I will be going in Feb to
the AGU Infotech Committee meeting in Washington DC. 
Just in case, Allan, do you have (a link to) your latest 
overhead sheets on LyX, and could I use them? Of course 
there's always the Graphical Tour. But hese are pretty 
knowledgable people and at home with LaTeX and XML/SGML. 

Also I would like to know the status on AGU classes
support (AGUplus). It would require user defined floats
like "plate" and "planotable". I understand it is 
planned, but... Are we prepared to work with AGU on 
this?

Funny,  I sent my announcement to them before you but they still used your
announcement.  Never mind.

> I don't know where else publishes it ?

Nobody does but I just wanted you to submit it to anyone who carries Linux
or Open Source info.  Preferably lots of people submitting to the same
places so that maybe just maybe they might think "Hey, someone out there
must want to read this"

Thanks.
