Introduction to ATBiblioList

ATBiblioList

Description

• Bibliographic References List Management Tool for Plone
• Built with Archetypes
• Product add-on for CMFBibliographyAT
• Hosted on SourceForge (http://sf.net/projects/collective) currently only available from CVS

Purpose

• Display Lists in a "ready to publish" style
• Tool to create small working lists of often used references
• Export a selection of bibliographic references coming from one or more multiple folders to one file

Requirements

• CMFBibliographyAT by Raphael Ritz
• (recommended) Epoz by Maik Jablonski
  • http://mjablonski.zope.de/Epoz

Functions

• Manage personal lists of bibliographic references
• Export lists (in the same standards as CMFBibliographyAT)
• Display lists in specific styles
  • Choose from predefined styles
  • Create custom styles (TTW and/or on FS)
  • Make StyleSets combining different styles

Possible Expansions

• Custom ordering of the List
  • needs at least orderable ATreferences
• Reading Lists (in far off future versions)
  • needs at least ATReferenceFields in a RecordsField (from ATExtensions by Raphael Ritz)
• Dynamic Lists built with search criteria
  • Inspired by PloneTopics, not so trivial

Conclusion

• Purpose is achieved, additional features are not a necessity
• To expand, we need more time and more cooperation from higher
• We will still handle debugging & finetuning
• This is Open-source, feel free to join the effort!
