I have produced my suggested list of the minimal Bibliographic features.
Document/Page Options Panel
-----------------------------------
* Select document citation / bibliography style selects from available
CiteProc style sheets. [picklist]
(Ideally this should be in the Format-->Page... panel with its own tab panel,
but for convenience could be initially placed on the Basic Bibliographic Data
Entry Panel until that can be done.)
Citation Insertion Panel
---------------------------
* Display selected references [combo-box]
* Select/Add reference [button – calls Reference Search/Pick Panel]
* Remove reference [button – delete highlighted reference from list]
* Enter Prefix [textbox]
* Enter Suffix [textbox]
* Select locator type
(pages, line numbers, chapter-verse etc.) [Pick list]
* Enter locator value [textbox]
* Suppress Brackets around In-Text citation. [tick-box]
* Exclude Author [tick-box]
* Exclude year [tick-box]
* OK & Cancel buttons.
Reference Search/Pick Panel (for citation insertion)
--------------------------------------------------------------
* Select data source (file, eXist DB, etc.) [textbox for URL ?]
* Display available references (a table similar to MS's Research Pane) with
select tick-boxes on the reference list.
* OK & Cancel buttons.
Insert Bibliography Table Panel
---------------------------------------
* Protect from manual changes. [tick-box]
* OK & Cancel buttons.
There are ways in which the Citation Insertion Panel could be simplified.
Using tabs for Basic and Extra options. Or using a More /Less Options button
to reveal or hide an expanded options panel.
