I still think the Plone look is more "professional" than the wiki, but I suppose that could be just a function of what I am accustomed to. I guess I just worry a little that people will visit the www.axiom-developer.org address, see a page that looks pretty unlike anything they might be used to, and conclude Axiom is not a serious project. I suppose people who would conclude that might not be the target users for Axiom, granted... > Plone on the other hand > might still be more suitable for registered users who want more > control over the content and structure of their web pages. I am uneasy about doing any significant work in the Plone environment, because I have a feeling it might never be part of the "active" Axiom website (I doubt Plone-Axiom gets many web hits, for example.) I would prefer to work in just one environment, perhaps implementing an alternative bibliography solution in the wiki or some such - maybe this would be of interest? http://wikindx.sourceforge.net/index.html I think there needs to be one solution, rather than risk fragmenting efforts over several wildly different systems, but that's just me. > > BTY, who can add bibtex entries?

Another thought is that a "global" bibtex file generated from this system could provide the foundation bib file for the Axiom codebase, assuming one can be automatically generated. Maybe we could even rig up a way to have the codebase repository updated each time a bibliography update is committed via web, and have the website updated every time a new bibtex entry is put into the repository.
