From lyx-users Mon Mar 23 16:07:00 2009 From: Piero Faustini Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2009 16:07:00 +0000 To: lyx-users Subject: Help for paper about LaTeX/LyX and the meaning of life Message-Id: X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=lyx-users&m=123782447817513 Hello, in a couple of months I have to speak at a conference about computers & music/critical editions. I will introduce to a M$Word-enslaved audience the great advantages of WYSIWYM (by the way, I'm going to talk about music notation software LilyPond too, and the audience will be also Finale-enslaved: it's David vs. Goliat). I'm a musicologist and I'm not a LaTeX/LyX pro so the thing would definitely be something much more like a divulgative/ads/propaganda thing than a specialized research. For this reason, in order to give the audience some "content" rather than advertising, I want to cite some statistics, relevant opinions, important projects/books/initiatives based on LyX and so on, but the LyX site lacks of all of this. On the other hand, I would like to introduce the WYSIWYM “philosophy” but, as I'm not a semiologist, I don't know where to find some relevant thought (or some “effect quotation”!) on the whole Content-Form-Structure-and-the-meaning- of-life stuff. Any help would be apreciated and - if possible - referenced. Thanks, Piero
