it's looking pretty good; certainly is generting the cat field 
properly.  A couple of notes:
* export generated html output is missing.  That is necessary to create 
googlable pages.
* it looks like some characters are being transofrmed incorrectly. Note 
the question marks in potluck abstract, which i think should be dashes
* will the converter properly handle quotation marks inside a field?  ie 
if I say in bibtex
    abstract={This is a "good" paper}
 what will happen to the json?
* you've generated a proper accent mark on the e in Medard in the 
content, but in the author facet it shows Medard with accent but also 
M\'edard, and also shows M<gibberish>dard.  but then you have proper 
accents for laszlo lovasz.  strange.
* I wonder if babel should generate a "bibtex:" attribute that stores 
the raw bibtex associated with each the json record.  this would give 
you full-fidelity export of bibtex.  Some work to deal with the bibtex 
"crossref" attribute, but still, might be easiest overall.  Because then 
you could safely zap various tex things from the converted fields. 
* I got surprised by the facet behavior, though i can now see a 
justification for it: clicking on a value selected that value _only_.  
to get multiple values I had to careful hit the checkboxes.  Is that 
intentional?
* I got tripped up by the "copy raw data button"---didn't expect it to 
output everything, only the stuff I had currently selected. 
* the converter messed up on the name "Douglass S. J. {De Couto}" (look 
under C in the author facet).  tex uses the braces to say "this person 
has a two word last name".  I have to ask Max Van Kleek if his name is 
wrong too.
* You'll note i am both David Karger and David R. Karger (you have two 
names too).  It would be nice if there were a way to "merge" these two 
things in the author facet.  I guess one approach is to create a "name" 
type, and the give each name a "person" property, such that two names 
for the same person have the same person property, and then "group by 
person", but this seems like overkill, doesn't it?
