This looks interesting. I only played with Google Scholar a bit since this is the only page I use, but it looks nice. A question: I realize that this a bit outside the scope of this project but would it be possible to turn this into a browser plugin? While surfing inside BibDesk is nice, most people probably preferred to use Safari for this. So what would be ideal IMO is a Zotero-like approach. Have a plugin for your Webkit browser which will tell you if a website contains bibliographic data - two clicks and the data is imported into BibDesk. As I said, I know this is quite a request but it seems like the natural way to do this, especially if more formats get added. simon -- Simon Spiegel Steinhaldenstr. 50 8002 Zürich Telephon: ++41 44 451 5334 Mobophon: ++41 76 459 60 39 http://www.simifilm.ch "Was soll aus mir mal werden, wenn ich mal nicht mehr bin?"
