The topic of word processor integration comes up periodically, and I'd also like to see more integration with word processor-type programs. However, if wishes were horses, then beggars would ride ;).
I explored Mellel integration at one point, but I personally can't justify a license for Mellel to work on it, or the time it would require. If anyone is interested, I can share the Mellel SDK and some correspondence with its developers, and you can have your own subversion branch to play with. Join the developers list and we'll help you get started; that's how I learned Objective-C and Cocoa. Note also that Pages's XML format is documented, so in theory you could scan a pages document and insert citations at the appropriate places. Tom Counsell's ruby script does this, for instance. Maybe someone (not me!) could be persuaded to work on this via a grant? Anyone interested in pursuing that? I'd guesstimate 120 hours full time for someone familiar with Cocoa in general, maybe 80 for someone familiar with BibDesk itself; those figures are strongly dependent on the desired feature set. For my organization, that might translate to $12-18K at the low end, so students are probably a better bet for this. regards, Adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
