The idea would be to provide something similar to Amazon > CreateSpace (but for freely distributed styles, of course): Also, and to help to validate styles, something that could be done is to have a webpage where the user could write the metadata, the expected output and then compare with the real output. Use case that I'll face soon: Elsevier has 6 different styles (afair, I don't have the documentation handy). We (CSL project) have these 6 different styles. But I want to make sure that we generate what Elsevier's guidelines says. This could be done on the submission of the style. I'm always worried about the extra-work that may add for the users that submit styles. But indeed, we need some way to make the maintenance easier. -- Carles Pina | Software Engineer http://www.mendeley.com/profiles/Carles-Pina/ Mendeley Limited | London, UK | www.mendeley.com Registered in England and Wales | Company Number 6419015 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
