Cool! Thanks for this. I understand the Fireforg project provides part
of this functionality (integrated with Zotero), but this free-standing
tool looks helpful. Three quick comments:
- I tried to just put this on my load path and require it, but there
seems to be a name conflict with the existing org-bibtex.el, which
provides for BibTeX links.
- Trying to create a book type entry, I get prompted only for
`:editor', not for `:author'.
- Fireforg namespaces the property names with a `BIB_', e.g.
`:BIB_author:', and some people might find that useful as an option.
- I'd find it helpful with a user option for org-bibtex-fleshout to
prompt for optional fields as well.
Yours,
Christian

Hi,
In an attempt to organize my reading notes, I've written the following
tool which allows both for exporting Org-mode headlines with bibtex
meta-data to bibtex entries, and for reading existing bibtex entries
into Org-mode headings.
One nice feature of these functions is the ability to check that all
required fields are present in a given headline based on the bibtex type
(e.g., :article, :inproceedings), and prompt for missing fields.
See the top of the elisp file for more usage information.
