At least integration of BibDesk and Mellel has already been discussed some time ago. In principle, it wouldn't be so difficult to implement since BibDesk has a template based export system. Interaction with Mellel's XML-based file format would certainly be doable with this. Mellel's developers have also signalled interest and Adam Maxwell has looked into this (see http://forum.redlers.com/viewtopic.php? t=997&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=bibdesk&start=0 ), but nothing has been done so far. I think mainly, because none of the BibDesk developers uses Mellel. I agree though, that interaction between Mellel and BibDesk would be cool. As for interaction with Pages: Pages offers no bibliographic support whatsoever, so doing something useful with BibDesk would be quite difficult. 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?"
