Somehow I lost this thread - this is great, Finn, I agree that a shared bibliographic resource need not be restricted to conferences, journals, etc, although specific meta-reviews might be.

In another thread I echoed Reid's ideas about using a wiki to accomplish this, a mediawiki instance would be ideal.
