Just another quick followup:

The Mac developer that had started with mockups for a CSL editing/creation app has since gone further and has a full (if incomplete) working application.

So it seems like it is well-suited to a GUI (it only took him a couple of days). I will work with him to see where we can tweak things to make it easier still.

One thing I still could use help on from those wanting to contribute and comfortable with XML is testing with real-world styles. I've done APA and Chicago (both of which are somewhat complex) and a few others, but I only have so much time to test this myself.

BTW, I'll be presenting on the bib project at the Access 2005 conference in Edmonton in just over a week.

Finally, for those (me included) who have been a little frustrated by the slow pace of obvious progress, this note from one of the Sun people might be encouraging:

I always believed, that the bib project has the power to investigate and introduce new technologies in OOo and OpenDocument and I am very happy, that you see it the same way. Altough your project may slow down a little bit, because the new technologies have to be discussed by many people, I believe, that this is worth it.
