Although working on integration between an open-source project like BibDesk and a closed-source, for-pay product such as Mellel seems problematic as a student project. The question is, what open-source word processor is a good option? Not much comes to mind. LyX as a LaTeX front-end is still too much for most people, and the current crop (Abiword, OpenOffice) of free alternatives doesn't look good. The future of OpenOffice as an environment with serious, built-in citation support looks promising, though:
http://bibliographic.openoffice.org/ Of course, we're still at least a year out from OOO 3.0 and probably more time after that for the (now-alpha) Cocoa port, unless you want to work with NeoOffice instead. If we ever get a Computer Science undergrad major at my institution, I'll be recruiting. -AHM On Oct 7, 2007, at 3:26 PM, Adam R.
