• Sprint Goals

  last modified February 2 by wildintellect


Planned focus areas

  1. Improving Plone for use in scientific environments, with a focus on
    1. Tools for handling bibliographic data (CMFbibliographyAT, et. al.
      2. ­
    2. Tools for supporting sophisticated Taxonomy / Ontology (PloneOntology)
  2. Developing Plone API Quick Reference cards ("cheat sheets")


Possible Biblio Tool Feature Goals

  • Plone 3 compatibility (for CMFBibliographyAT)
  • Easy import from EndNote/BibTeX
  • Test and improve export to BibTeX/EndNote
  • Increased upport of more BibTeX features
  • Integration with common journal aggregators (Web of Science, PubMed, etc.)
  • Adopt the (zope 3 style) component architecture to improve its extensibility
  • Style tool to refactor the look/layout of citations to common journal styles. (this already exists as ATBiblioStyles)

  • Compatability with Zotero firefox bibliography extension. Using COins RDF or DublinCore 
  • Improve member-matching functionality (more hooks would be lovely so that products like FacultyStaffDirectory can plug into it easily) 
  • improve exception handling and logging in CMFBiblioAT.  Currenlty a single error in a BibTeX file causes the entire import to fail.  I think it would be great if we could make log the offending records and continue with the import, impporting all entries which do not contain errors (siebo)
  • Make BibTeX keywords properly import to Plone's Subject field (siebo)
  • adding DOI to whatever citation type we work on (cbcunc)


Existing Projects:

  • CMF Bibliography AT: Plone product for bibliography management
  • ATBiblioList: "An add-on to CMFBibliographyAT that lets organise bibliographical references into selection lists and have them printed in a "ready to publish" style."

Quick Reference Cards (Cheat Sheets) to be drafted, covering Plone 3.x

  • ZPT/TAL reference card
  • Plone CSS reference card
  • Plone JavaScript reference card
  • Plone UI customization reference card
  • KSS reference card
  • Archetypes (fields/widgets) reference cards

Note: Inkscape or Scribus will be leveraged to create the quick reference cards, thanks to multi-platform support,  i18n capabilities, a free software license, and open (XML-based) file formats.
