That's right. Just to clarify: 1) I presume we could include the script in the repo if we wanted 2) if the script or interpreter isn't available locally, the checkout will still work; it's just the cs:updated value won't get set Carles also asked: > I thought something similar for www.citationstyles.org, maybe can be partially reused? I forgot if someone was working on it (I remember Bruce talking about some software to prepare tables). Perhaps we ought to talk about where we'd like this to do? Ideally, I want an index and WYSWIYG editor hanging of citationstyles.org, but am not sure how best to get there.
