This is well-known and admitted by all concerned. We have had a "bibliographic project" for something like three years. So far it has released a quite detailed plan for world domination, and not a single line of code that can be used from the program. There are technical reasons why OOo can't be integrated with biblioscape by a volunteer effort. I think the problem with endnote is essentially that our RTF support is crappy. -- Andrew Brown The email in the header does not work.
