Very interesting, thanks for the shout-out on this early prototype. I'll be following the development as well, but at the moment, don't have comments.
Regarding Papers, on the Mac, we are planning to add proper support for loading 'csl' files into Papers 2.2 by simple drag-and-drop. Nothing extraordinary, we just need to handle the file type appropriately. But that makes it easy to load a CSL file into Papers, as one can simply use e.g. the command-line `open` command, or from a Cocoa app, use the LaunchServices APIs. The command `open` is for instance: open -a Papers /path/to/some-style.csl Thanks, Charles On Mar 30, 2012, at 7:25 PM, Bruce D'Arcus wrote: > On Fri, Mar 30, 2012 at 1:34 PM, Robert Knight > <[email protected]> wrote: >>> Does Zotero allow people to share a Word/OO document which uses a custom >>> style between different machines and users easily? >> >> Giving all created styles an ID which doubles as a URL from which the >> style can be fetched, so they could >> work in the same way as existing styles and be automatically >> downloaded by clients if necessary, seems like >> the obvious option.
