Is there someone one might write to about the importance of this task? I think if the coding team understood (a) the extent to which current bibliographic functions block adoption by academics, and (b) the importance of educational markets in adoption of new software, then there'd be a somewhat different valuation of priorities (e.g., a native SQLite driver would be great, but I doubt we'll pick up a whole lot of new users that way!).
We know who to talk to, and have. However, you are assuming above the same thing that I once assumed: that large corporations like Sun care about this market. I don¨t think they do. If you were a cash-strapped corporation looking for oppoertunities to make more cash, would you prioritize edu? Not trying to be a downer; just to give a sense of what we are up against.
