Agree on the following:

- We need really well defined use cases. We have a long list of
support requests, and feature requests at Mendeley so I can start to
break those down by use case type. Charles, I guess you guys have
similar for Papers?

- +1 on looking to integrate a test suite.

- I like the point about deciding on the direction of approach. As
many of you know, we tried before to go bottom up and it didn't work
because we failed to capture the hierarchical structure of the CSL
specification.

Our first step in this project is going to be to work on these use
cases before we think about cutting code.

I want to spend time examining the excellent set of tools that are out
there already. I'm aware of the following tools:

Dev resources listed here:
http://citationstyles.org/citation-style-language/development/

Processors listed here:
http://citationstyles.org/citation-style-language/processors/

Prototype lookup service:
http://steveridout.com/cslEditor/cslFinder/

Prototype CSL code viewier
http://steveridout.com/cslEditor/

Naive WYSIWYG implementation (the one that didn't work out):
http://csleditor.quist.de/csleditor/show/2/another-example-citation-style

What else should I be looking at?
