Upgrade StorageCitum: a sort of successor to CSL
I originally created what became CSL somewhere around 2004 to format a book manuscript I was working on, and to try to solve some problems I saw in citation management and formatting.
In 2023, I started experimenting with an alternative approach. Today I published the code packages, and made it much easier to experiment with.

It's complete and solid enough now that it now needs wider testing, especially from those CSL users that are looking for features it doesn't support (like multilingual, grouped and annotated bibliographies, better archival document support, advanced dates, etc).
Though it's currently still aimed at developers and tech-savvy users at least comfortable with the command line, I hope the documentation is clear enough to communicate to a broader audience, and I would welcome any kind of feedback. I'm particularly weak on understanding multilingual.

Citation workflows have become much more complex since CSL was first designed, especially around multilingual sources, now we have to use all sorts of hacks to achieve multilingual support.
Zotero devs, please… XML had a good run, but it deserves retirement somewhere peaceful alongside fax machines and manually fixing bibliography formatting at 2 a.m.
