Hi all,
I've just had a friend ask me whether there's anything in the free software
world for academic research / writing i.e. tracking bibliographic info,
citations, quotes etc., and then collating them into a written product. He's
used a commercial Windows product called Nota Bene before:

Sounds like the sort of thing that much be an itch for lots of academics, but
I've not run across anything more specialised like this in the free software
world.
Any cluesticks? What do you real academics out there use (without wanting to
start an editor and/or word processor war!).
As he is using Windows he might like to look at this:
http://www.wibtex.de/
It appears to interface to BibTeX which is the standard for biblio data in the
UNIX/Linux world but also works with MS Word.
I have not tried it myself. I just use gvim and raw bibtex files.
