New harvard based style for University of South Africa / GBFE (German)

Hi there,

i have modified the "Harvard Reference format 1 (Author-Date) (dev)" by Julian Onions.
http://zotero.org/styles/harvard1/dev

It matches the requirements of the German GBFE "Gesellschaft für Bildung und Forschung in Europa e.V." which is a cooperation of several theological seminaries in Germany. They obtain their degrees via the University of South Africa in Pretoria.

The style is for german Papers and is located here https://gist.github.com/994941

I would appreciate if the style could be added to the official style repository.

    Thanks.
    However, the style doesn't validate:
    http://validator.nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fgist.github.com%2Fraw%2F994941%2Fdd268afc777173d7c41653e5cc75a7b66756ec6d%2Fharvard1-unisa-gbfe.csl&schema=http%3A%2F%2Fbitbucket.org%2Fbdarcus%2Fcsl-schema%2Fraw%2F855dcc00cba7%2Fcsl.rnc&laxtype=yes

    see if you can make sense of the results and fix the style - any questions just ask.
    edit:
    Also, pls remove the (dev) behind the style name and the .csl at the end of the link
  • Dear Adamsmith,

    i fixed the errors and it validates now.

    The "(dev)" is also removed.

  • looks great - I'll put it up later today, will let you know when it's up.
  • Sounds great! Thanks!
  • OK, it's up, will be on the repo shortly - thanks again.
  • Hi Adam,

    i have just updated the style to fix some bugs. Can you push out the update to zotero? I can do it myself if you give me the rights

    - ichthys2k
  • done. I actually can't give you the rights - I don't own the repo - I believe the idea is to keep people with commit rights limited to a handful of admins/power users and have everyone else work with pull requests as described here
    https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/README.md
    or through the forum.

    (btw. I deleted the .csl at the end of the <link> tag of your style - shouldn't be there.)
  • Cornelius, do you know if the GBFE reference style is described online?
