As most you will know, Mendeley and Columbia University were able to secure funding from the Sloan Foundation for the development of the online CSL editor ( http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/mendeley-teams-up-with-columbia-university-libraries-to-develop-a-citation-style-language-editor-through-125000-sloan-foundation-award-137669218.html ).
Jeffrey Lancaster was involved at Columbia, and wrote to me that he'd be happy to assist us with thinking about, and possibly applying for, further grants. He might have some valuable insight, so I suggest we shouldn't waste the opportunity :). Any thoughts? I know Frank Bennett tried (but failed) to get a grant for development of Multilingual Zotero, so maybe it's time for a retry. Personally, I would really like to see the process of submitting styles to the repository become more automated. Sebastian Karcher, Charles Parnot and I spend a lot of time handling style submissions. The volume of style submissions has increased quite a bit over the past year, and a large fraction of the work is just making sure that the submissions are done correctly. While I have tried to document the process as clearly as possible for users, we still deal with a lot of incorrect GitHub pull requests, submissions of invalid CSL styles and style metadata that hasn't been entered correctly. My motivation to continue to perform this labor for free has its limits, so I welcome any thoughts on how to lessen this burden.
