style for Oecologia
I have created a style for Oecologia but I need some feedback on it. However, I don't understand how I should upload it. I have created a SVN/trac account

I tried to copy my csl file to that location and I was prompted for my userid and password but I got "403 Forbidden"
I get "Please use Unix newlines for CSL files"
What should I do?

I have now uploaded a style for Oecologia http://www.zotero.org/styles
However, there are some things that I haven't been able tofix
1) There should not be a comma between author(s) and year in the in-text-citations
2) It should use Journal Abbr. for articles
3) In chapters of books the editor names should be in the same format as author names are
http://www.springer.com/life+sci/ecology/journal/442?detailsPage=contentItemPage&CIPageCounter=104122
<citation>
...
<layout prefix="(" suffix=")" delimiter="; ">
<group delimiter=", ">
...
</group>
</layout>
</citation>
For 2: in the bibliography section, change
<text variable="container-title" />
into<text variable="container-title" form="short"/>
For 3: try replacing the following code in the bibliography section
<names variable="editor translator" prefix=" " suffix="" delimiter=", ">
with<name sort-separator=", " initialize-with=""/>
<label form="short" prefix=" (" suffix=")"/>
</names>
<names variable="editor translator">
(copied from the author macro)<name name-as-sort-order="all" sort-separator=" " initialize-with=""
delimiter=", " delimiter-precedes-last="always"/>
<label form="short" prefix=" (" suffix=")" text-case="capitalize-first"/>
</names>
However, I don't want periods in the journal abbreviations
for instance Basic and Applied Ecology should abbreviate as Basic Appl Ecol and not Basic Appl. Ecol.
as it is now it only use what is written in my database. This is no good cause some journals want periods and other don't.
case, but the more general issue of journal abbreviations
seems to apply here) is a bit of a can of worms at this
point ... ?

This need to be fixed
1) Sort by author (last name of first author).
2) Within each author's listings:
...A) First list the solo papers by date.
...B) Next list the two-authored papers by the last name of the second author.
...C) Last list all the multiple (n > 2) authored papers by year. (They are silent as to how to order same-year multiple-authored papers by the same first author).
