Added lines 1-2:
The current design assumption is that the implementation will use bibliography groups, with a page per citation. This may change.
Changed lines 5-10 from:
* `Site.BibliographyDatabase and `Group.BibliographyDatabase pages, containing citation data in Bibtex markup plus supplementary content (not citations) in regular wiki markup

* Bibtex markup rendered as suitable HTML for display purposes; e.g. field names and field values

* the ability to ''cite'' an item on
a `BibliographyDatabase page
to:
* a mechanism to import, store and reference citations
** either `Site.BibliographyDatabase and `Group.BibliographyDatabase pages, containing citation data
in Bibtex markup plus supplementary content (not citations) in regular wiki markup
** or bibliography groups, with a page per citation and citation data stored as field name/field value pairs using wiki definition lists

* individual citations (whether in Bibtex markup or wiki markup) rendered as suitable HTML for display purposes; e.g. field names and field values or using view templates to support various citation styles

* the ability to ''cite'' (refer to) an item in
a `BibliographyDatabase page
Changed lines 17-18 from:
* the ability to generate a (possibly annotated) bibliography from a `BibliographyDatabase page
to:
* the ability to generate a (possibly annotated) bibliography from `BibliographyDatabase pages

to:
* the ability to add new references to a bibliography database using a simple wiki form
Added lines 35-36:
* the ability to export bibliography records as bibtex files
Changed lines 39-46 from:
* the ability to generate a list of references from multiple `BibliographyDatabase pages (although a database page may contain ''include'' directives to mimic such a feature)

* the ability to merge casual references and a `BibliographyDatabase page into a single bibliography

* the ability to generate a "cited-only" view of a `BibliographyDatabase page -- i.e. generate a list of references from a database using a list of pages where these may have been cited

* support for citations defined using wiki or other markup (i.e. it is Bibtex only)
to:
* the ability to generate a list of references from multiple `BibliographyDatabases (although a database page may contain ''include'' directives to mimic such a feature)

* the ability to merge casual references and a `BibliographyDatabase into a single bibliography

* the ability to generate a "cited-only" view of a `BibliographyDatabase -- i.e. generate a list of references from a database using a list of pages where these may have been cited

* support for citations defined using arbitrary wiki or other markup (i.e. it is Bibtex only, with a translation to and from definition list markup)
18 September 2006 at 03:08 PM by John Rankin - clarify scope
Changed lines 3-10 from:

* the ability to generate a formatted list of cited references at the end of an individual wiki
page (which may contain ''include'' directives)

* the ability to generate a formatted list
of cited references at the end of a published collection of wiki page, with optional introductory text
to:
* `Site.BibliographyDatabase and `Group.BibliographyDatabase pages, containing citation data in Bibtex markup plus supplementary content (not citations) in regular wiki markup

at the end of a published collection of wiki page, with optional introductory text
Added lines 21-22:
* the ability to define and cite casual references within the current wiki page
Deleted lines 32-33:
* the ability to define and cite casual references within the current wiki page
Changed lines 35-36 from:
* support for references defined using wiki or other markup (i.e. it is Bibtex only)

15 September 2006 at 02:44 PM by John Rankin - define scope
Added lines 1-33:
The initial scope ''will aspire'' to include:

* `Site.BibliographyDatabase and `Group.BibliographyDatabase pages, containing reference data in Bibtex markup plus supplementary content (not references) in regular wiki markup

* the ability to ''cite'' a reference on a `BibliographyDatabase page

* the ability to generate a formatted list of cited references at the end of an individual wiki page (which may contain ''include'' directives)

* the ability to generate a formatted list of cited references at the end of a published collection of wiki page, with optional introductory text

* the ability to generate a (possibly annotated) bibliography from a `BibliographyDatabase page

* the ability to specify display options such as citation style and reference style

* HTML, Latex and PDF output

The initial scope ''may perhaps'' include:

* the ability to add new references to a database page using a simple wiki form

* the ability to update existing references using a simple wiki form

* the ability to delete (mark as deleted) existing references using a simple wiki form

* an interface in which the reference type defines the form's appearance and field prompts

The initial scope ''will not'' include:

* the ability to define and cite casual references within the current wiki page

* the ability to generate a list of references from multiple `BibliographyDatabase pages (although a database page may contain ''include'' directives to mimic such a feature)

* support for references defined using wiki or other markup (i.e. it is Bibtex only)
