I agree with this, I can't see any Word User installing a Lyx-Lite as a
way of collaborating. And if I could, they would be the ones that I
would also be able to persuade to install Lyx. There may be other
reasons for a Lyx-Lite but this isn't one.
For collaboration we need a high quality converter (which I doubt is
possible, given how badly Microsoft, Open Office, Pages etc do with
converters) or a PDF based solution where we can enable the
collaboration features of Acrobat Reader.
