Hi Bruce, could you give me access please? My username is "idiopathic".
You asked me for an intro, so here goes. I am a Bahraini, I trained as an MD in the UK and I currently work as a researcher at the National Center for Biotechnology Information in the USA. I recently wrote the book "Free Software for Busy People": http://freedomsoftware.info/content/section/1/45/ My interest in this project in particular and open source software in general is purely personal, I must say, not related to my day job... However, one of the projects I am working on involves converting Word WML documents into the National Library of Medicine's Book DTD: http://dtd.nlm.nih.gov/book/ And one of the biggest difficulties we have is with embedded references, eg those from PubMed. To my mind, having a word processer that has XML as its native format, builtin XSLT filters, and in its future version, builtin reference handling, is ideal. So I wanted to keep an eye on the project. I do do some programming, but it's the naive Perl hacking of an MD rather than the quality programming of a computer professional. And I have to stress again that I am doing this as my own initiative, not backed by anyone at the NCBI or the NLM.
