[Bibdesk-users] sharing bibs
Hi, I can, of course, just send a copy of my bib to someone else. I also do an iTunes-style (Bonjour) sharing. But what about a dynamically updated webpage? Has someone written a cgi script that can query the bib and generate a webpage? Yes, I know I can push out an html formatted page from Bibdesk, but I am not looking for that. I like some aspects of programs/websites such as Connotea (by Nature.com) and Refworks (available via my UW-Madison library) whereby my bib always resides on the web and I can access/share it from anywhere... particularly useful if I am writing a paper on Google Docs and away from my Mac. All ideas will be entertained. -- Puneet Kishor http://punkish.eidesis.org/ Nelson Inst. for Env.

To always have an updated library on both computers my library resides on my iDisk and I synchronize both computers, but I think that is rather awkward. To have a mechanism to share libraries over the Internet would be perfect. -- Armin Goralczyk, M.D. Dept. of General Surgery University of Göttingen Göttingen, Germany http://www.chirurgie-goettingen.de - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

You can upload your .bib file and share/manage it over the web (e.g. http://www.bibsonomy.org/user/bertolt). They also have an API and work on a JabRef connection (i.e. JabRef displyas your references on bibsonomy.org insted of your local .bib). Something similar for BibDesk would be really cool I think.

[Bibdesk-users] auto-generated minimal bibtex files
Hi, First off, I've been using BibDesk for a few years now and find it very helpful in organizing my bibliography and papers. I use subversion to maintain my .bib file and occasionally include it in the tex source for papers that I am collaborating on. It would be nice if this shared version had only the standard/minimal fields (i.e. not local-url or date-modified, etc). Without having to export a minimal bibtex, is there anyway to automatically maintain a minimal version of bibliographies in addition to the full version (i.e. with all the fields)? Supposing that references.bib is my main (full) bibtex file, each time I change it and save with BibDesk, I'd like to auto-generate a corresponding references_minimal.bib. Any help/comments are appreciated. Thanks, Matt Walter - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Maxwell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The iDisk should also be accessible to latex/bibtex when you're actually working on a document. -- Adam No problem since it's accessible, i.e. /Volumes/iDisk/.../.../... But what about the ones that don't have an iDisk? Well, given that Apple's iDisk performance still sucks, I'm not optimistic that we can come up with something better. It would be possible to edit a remote .bib file using Distributed Objects, but that would require a Mac on both ends of the connection, and you'd have to type in the server address manually. I suppose even Local-Urls could be made available, but it would be as slow as your network connection. The problems arise in dealing with network slowdowns, timeouts, security, multiuser setups, server outages, file locking, firewalls, proxies... And next problem: I stored all my pdf files on my iDisk (which works fine), but it's filled up pretty fast. If I have access to a web server it would be nice to store the bib and all pdf files on that server and actually work on that file/repository with bibdesk. By work on I presume you mean view and/or modify. A web server is one-way, although I think you can use WebDAV as iDisk does; no idea how difficult that is to set up, but in that case could you just mount it from the Finder? -- Adam - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
