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
