-
-================
-Introduction
-
- The purpose of this file is *used* *to* *be* to provide a style
- sheet and helpful hints to those wishing to help with the
- LyX Documentation Project. There's now a separate style-sheet for
- that.
-
- If you're actually looking for documentation, check out the "Help"
- menu. Start by reading the Introduction.
-
-================
-Why a separate documentation project? Can't the developers do it?
-
- In a word, no. They're too busy adding features and squishing
- bugs.
-
- Also, g++ is far more forgiving of style changes than a human
- brain. As long as the code is correct, g++ will happilly compile
- it, and compile it the same way from machine to machine. Human
- brains are far less forgiving and far more individualized. So,
- the documentation needs to all be in a uniform style, in addition
- to being grammatically correct and easily readable. That's a
- pretty big undertaking - which is why I volunteered to
- administrate the docs back in 1997. Since then, I've passed the
- duty of maintaining the docs on to others.
-
-================
-Helping Out
-
- If you'd like to contribute to the LyX Documentation Project,
- start by reading the file Intro.lyx. It contains a description of
- the style of the documentation from a reader's perspective. After
- that, read the LyX Documentation Style Sheet (DocStyle.lyx) and
- commit it to memory!
