Hi folks,

After a couple of years of interest in bibliographies, I am finally in a
situation where these questions are of immediate practical importance. 

I am part of a small social science research group which has been given
substantial funding for technological improvements.  One thing we'd
liketo do is establish a collective bibliography (probably web-based).  

Most of theresearchers use endnote and MS-word for bibliography/word
processing.  I of ocurse use Openoffice and...  any of several
unsatisfactory bibliographic  solutions.  Including just entering
references by hand (yuck).  

Anyway, since I'm the most tech-savvy person in this group, I have a
certain latitutde in recommending possible solutions.  I am therefore
looking for a bibliographic management tool which:

- is _designed_ as a multi-user solution;
- has very good interaction with endnote, to the point that QUITE
technically illiterate scholars can easily up- and down-load references;
- either has a functioning web search interface already, or has a
flexible API which would allow one to be written fairly easily
- has a sufficiently flexible db to ensure that, when OOo finally gets a
really decent bibliographic interface (2008? 2010?), there shouldn't be
any serious compatibility issues.  

I know the perfect solution doesn't exist; but failing perfection, what
kinds of solutions do you recommend/have you successfully implemented?  

Anyway, thanks for your help,

Matt
