Aby,
Thank you for your interest in our project.
I have re-written the instruction to make it a bit clearer at
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/SummerOfCode2006
To understand more about our project you need to careful read the
Bibliographic Project web pages -
Particularly the main page
http://bibliographic.openoffice.org/
and the Developers page
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Bibliographic_Project's_Developer_Page
and the linked pages.
This page has links to description of Citeproc Bibliographic Formatting
Engine and to the OOo API, based on UNO (Universal Network Objects).
The actual Citeproc re-coding is a moderately straight forward task. The more
complex part of the task is using the OOo add-on package to use the Citeproc
from within Writer. And to demonstrate that it works -
"The formatting engine should take a list of citation reference IDs from
Writer and return the formatted citation text and insert it into Writer."
You should only apply for this task if having read this material you feel
understand Cieproc, the OpenOffice UNO process, OOo add-on packages, and
believe that you could use these to test your coding work.
Please feel free to ask us any questions.
regards
David Wilson
