@fbennett: I just signed up for BitBucket, and added the (now empty) citeproc-js repo as first on my "watch" list ;-)
-
I disagree with both points: merely changing tools will do nothing to improve a situation that is fundamentally limited by manpower. Yes, but changing tools along with changing focus and priorities a little can address the manpower issue. The bottom…

You probably need to look for an XSLT stylesheet that convert TEI to MODS. It might exist.
-
Grumble, grumble, long post gone into the ether because of a MySQL connection error! Short version: trac isn't magic, but it is a prerequisite, and I think the rules need loosening. On distributed vs. centralized: as I mentioned above, one thing I…

Yeah, I know there are reasons to want to limit the ability to create tickets, but I don't think the process is working that well. My thought was that delegating this to some (technically-proficient) users may improve this. They would have responsib…
-
I think the trick to tracking proposals in this way is that they need to be added as tickets to Trac. Otherwise, it's just too hard; developers can't be responsible for keeping up with all the discussions here. Do you have permission to create new …

Lxml is a pretty heavy-weight requirement for a pretty simple script. You might consider doing something like I do in this code, where you fall back to element tree (included in the standard library now). That way, people use lxml if they want for a…

Yes, we'll have that covered (in theory, it already is covered from the CSL end; the issue is more how Zotero handles names). Frank teaches in Japan, so would be in big trouble with his students if he got this wrong ;-)
-
For those of you interested in this functionality, please keep in mind that names are exceedingly complex if you're attempting to be international friendly. The most simple example is that sort and display rules are not the same around the world; …

A little JQuery plug-in might be useful.
-
It is on our todo list. I'm concerned with a solution that works not just for low-level output, but for data storage and import/export, search, display (particularly on the web), etc. It seems logical that (X)HTML is an important part of that pictu…
-
You may think of the D[onald] example as silly, but if a journal comes with such requirement, you will have to find a way to do it. Really? How many styles have this requirement? Of those styles, how many of their copy editors will actually check ho…
-
[ it should be stored separately it seems to me. ] And what do you mean by the above? An (optional) "initials" field for contributors. This has the advantage that it could be extended for organizations as well. I would support something simple and…
-
For line-spacing and such, I think it's better to look into using your word-processor styles, than to modify a CSL style.
-
Yeah, I dislike the idea of mangling the data this way just to get something like an output initial. If people care about this, it should be stored separately it seems to me. A more troublesome (and practical) issue is proper nouns in titles.
-
Yes, what Rinzte and sean said. This would be overkill, particularly when you consider it's possible for there to be more than one publisher. Best to keep it simple, since it works. Note to self: it's possible that "publisher" should be changed fr…
-
Yeah, I was in a hurry. "Tagetted at" is the wrong verb. I just meant that different areas have different priorities, and that's hard to account for in code. For example, in my area I often see (and do) stuff like: Jones argues blah, blah, blah (20…
-
No, the use case is known; it's been stated over and over. But a) I am adding to that the requirement to be able to change styles radically without having to modify the in-document citations, and b) I want to think about how to actually do this (rat…
-
@lmb: On your first point, then that definitely means we won't support it. It is a fundamental design goal of CSL that it be general and flexible enough to support this requirement. Rather than just discuss this in the abstract, I've created a tick…
-
@CB: when I use the word "trivial" here, I mean relative to implementation complexity and other tradeoffs. Nobody who wants this has explained how it would work in a dynamic GUI, where users can seamlessly switch between author-date and other (footn…
-
@lmh: you say you understand this is a complex topic, but it's clear you do not, nor that you've carefully read the earlier discussion. You simply keep repeating yourself.
-
I have no intention of supporting this (though not to say I'll never change my mind), and frankly get a bit tired of the "do it like BibTeX" arguments. I use author-date styles ALL the time, and find the current approach more flexible, and the alter…
-
This is the effort I was talking about, which I've been discussing with some people at Talis, among them Leigh Dodds, who used to be the CTO for Ingenta (and so knows a thing or two about these issues).
-
@4GPro: I can't speak for CB, but I'd guess the issue was in part your tone. This community is in general a really friendly, civil, place. Some of your comments in this thread ("your majesty"? are you serious?) are not.
-
No; it's not their "responsibility." This is an open source project based on open standards and protocols, so there's no reason anyone couldn't do it (save technical limitations in IE). I can't speak for the Zotero team, but I'd find it extremely…
-
Ask MS.
-
@bradco: so pay someone to do it ;-)
-
Sharing settings (tied to groups and such) are on the way. Re: fields and such, I think groups and tags are a better way to do this; more flexible. The generic fields are currently drawn from the CSL schema, where they're used to group citation sty…
-
Then maybe there's a translation problem. What should be the Italian term for "editor"?
-
Search the forums and you'll see your first issue has been discussed. As for your second, it's easy to critique, but not helpful. How about suggesting specific additions?
