Yes, I've been using data for now.

I think the problem is that a lot of us jumped into ConTeXt's bibliography support without realizing that it is not really mature enough to be usable for professional use yet.

Thanks a lot for the generous offer, but sadly I probably wouldn't know what to do with it. Unlike a lot of people on this list, my first exposure to digital typesetting came with ConTeXt which would make such a thing very painful. On top of that, I'd have to be more comfortable with Lua. > On the other hand, there’s been an announcement by Paul Isambert > some time ago that his *Librarian* package cooperates with > Context in some way: > > http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20100405.024343.6e4aa50d.en.html > From the documentation it looks pretty powerful.
