The LyX Development Team is pleased to announce LyX 1.0.1 and refute the claim 
that there is no open source word processor! Here (www.lyx.org) is a full 
featured document processor which exports LaTeX for hard copy. Much more than 
just a "GUI front end for LaTeX", LyX now also supports literate programming. 
A phenomenal math editor, figures, tables... LyX menus, and on-line docs 
partly, have been translated to over a dozen languages. LyX allows embedded 
LaTeX code and imports existing LaTeX files. But best of all, LyX can be used 
by your non-LaTeX-aware relatives and friends!
