Hi again,

I wanted to let everyone know that we’ve started a blog as part of our  
collaboration in making a prototype CSL editor (which was recently posted  
to the list). The blog is at [http://csleditor.wordpress.com/](http://csleditor.wordpress.com/) and we’ll be  
(eventually) posting releases there. We’ve also made space for press  
coverage of the project and suggestions in case you have any pressing ideas  
or comments you’d like to share regarding the project. Comments made to  
the xbiblio list will be taken into account in the development (along with  
feedback in Mendeley’s forums and several other avenues), so there’s no  
need to post to both places.

Thanks again for your great ideas in the previous round of discussion,  
and I look forward to when we’ll have something concrete to share!

Good idea.

You on Google+? Might be good to setup a page there, and occasionally  
share stuff via that (mirrored to twitter)?

Just to be clear, the first “something concrete” is going to be the  
use cases, as outlined by Ian; right?

To quote him:

“Our first step in this project is going to be to work on these use  
cases before we think about cutting code.”

I could see doing one or more blog posts on this, which could provide  
opportunity for users on different apps to comment on.

Hi, yes, that’s exactly what we are working on now.

Our plan for development is to get Steve Rideout to start working on  
some prototypes in early March, and we are looking at use cases now.
