lyx.org domain fee
The lyx.org domain is up for renewal, and I am going to be so bold that I ask is some faithful user will be willing to sponsor the LyX project with this. The fee covers two years and is 70$ US. If someone steps forward, I will send the information needed to that individual. Tia, -- Lgb

Re: lyx.org domain fee
May I also recommend that the project register a domain name with the OpenNIC project. OpenNIC is an alternative DNS root server. They operate a .oss TLD for open source software projects. Registration is free. The webmaster (or someone) just needs to join OpenNIC (a simple matter of filling out a form) and email the .oss maintainer. Next thing we know, all OpenNIC users will be able to resolve lyx.oss! More information on OpenNIC can be found at their web site. http://www.opennic.unrated.net Just a suggestion.

They operate a An alternative *root server*? Man... I learn something new every day -- never even knew there was such a thing! "Hey, let's remap the Internet in our spare time..."

BTW, some domain registration services are much less expensive -- for instance, directnic.com (which I have used) offers .com, .net, and .org for $15 per year, and I recently saw a banner ad talking about $9 per year... don't remember what that was for, though. Typically these companies allow you to transfer registration to them for little or no money -- directnic will do it for free, if memory serves. Sorry if this is unwanted, but I tend to be frugal with my money so I thought the knowledge might be useful. :) Free software -- of which LyX is a shining example, IMO -- has allowed me and many other low- to middle-class persons to afford much better hardware than we otherwise could. (For the price of PhotoShop alone, for instance, one can buy a very good motherboard & CPU(s), or a whole mediocre system...) What the heck would I have to pay for a commercial typesetting system with the capabilities of (La)TeX? More than a month's rent, I bet...
