Oliver,

        It is I who wrote those pages as suggestions as how the bibliographic 
enhancements could be implemented if we could find developers willing to the work. The 
bibliographic project has not been able to find its own developers (other than Bruce's 
important work on the citation scripting engine) so we are dependent upon the work 
schedule of the Sun OOo developers. Mathias Bauer told me they are currently implementing 
Metadata support (including bibliographic metadata) the load/save/API, "hopefully 
for 3.0". So far there has been no commitment yet for any further work such as the 
user interface to support the new bibliographic metadata API.

You should consider those web pages as a hope rather than a promise.

regards


David Wilson

I haven't downloaded OO3.0 beta2 yet, but I had a look at the release notes and haven't found anything on the bibliogrpahic enhancements. Has anybody tested OO3.0 ? Or has anybody more information on the roadmap for bibliographic enhancements ??

any information is appreciated

all the best

Oliver
