Re: [Refdb-users] Endnote to RIS to RefDB troubles

[Markus H. <mar...@mh...>]

Hi Bruce,

I'm not too optimistic that 0.9.3 will be out anytime soon. This is an
overview of what I intend to get fixed for the next release:

risx import (export seems to work): requires a fairly extensive
refactoring and modularization of the data import routines (the good
thing is: once this is done, other native formats could be added
easily).

risx documentation: the key to get people use it

getref -s switch: should work in DocBook and TEI backends too

manual keyword scan: currently only the automatic keyword scan works
but this necessarily leaves out the keywords that are added later.

use Text::Iconv in med2ris.pl: while we're at it...

DocBook backend: reportedly has stability problems with some data,
although I believe I've fixed the underlying problem (thanks Marc!!)

reference permission problem: Who may delete datasets, if at all?

I'll try to get as much as possible done tomorrow (Labor day over here
in Germany :-), but I guess it'll take weeks until the code is
complete and more or less tested.

I plan to make available a snapshot of the current CVS version
(0.9.3-pre3 I guess) as this includes lots of fixes without too many
untested features that could get into your way.

regards,
Markus
