Development will be in 4 phases.
Prove the concept
Provide the ability to:
- import an existing BIBTEX file into a bibliography group and create a page per citation
- refer and link to citations in the bibliography group — click the link to view the citation
- generate a PDF of a single wiki page including a list of references
Improve functionality
Provide the ability to:
- format a citation page according to its citation type
- list citations as footnotes on a wiki page
- generate a PDF of a book of wiki pages including a bibliography
Improve usability
Provide the ability to:
- export a bibliography group as a BIBTEX file
- use a wiki form to add and edit citations, where citation type determines form layout
- generate formatted lists of citations based on a range of selection criteria
Extend capability (later, as need, time and budget allow):
Provide the ability to:
- record multiple citations on a page
- derive a bibliography based on referring pages

Questions/Comments:
- I would probably like to be able a correlation between a set of BIBTEX files and the
bibliography database as it is stored on the wiki. How would this work when you are
using multiple BIBTEX files? - Christian
- Also note that I sometimes take advantage of defining “macros” in one BIBTEX file
(using “@STRING=…”), which are then used in all of the other BIBTEX files.
A similar functionality is probably desired in a wiki implementation. - Christian
- I am unclear about what you mean with “citation page” above?
