OK, am not TOTALLY sure of what I’m doing, but I’ve added this github  
organization:

> **[Citation Style Language](https://github.com/citation-style-language/)**
>
> Citation Style Language has 22 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.

For now, Frank, Rintze and I are admins for it, but it’s totally flexible.

We then have our first repo:

> **[citation-style-language/styles](https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles)**
>
> Official repository for Citation Style Language (CSL) citation styles. - citation-style-language/styles

… and I’ve created a “team” of “Style Editors” that has access (though  
currently “pull only”; not exactly sure what that means here) to it.

Let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions. My basic idea is  
to load the 1.0 styles from the zotero repo to this one, and then to  
manage edits via the “team” feature, where members of this team have  
permission to pull patches from elsewhere, or to edit directly.

Description of teams is here:

[https://github.com/blog/674-introducing-organizations](https://github.com/blog/674-introducing-organizations)

Based on that, I’ve switched the “style editors” team to give full  
permissions (pull, push and administrative).

Cool to see it.  
Next step: populate with 1.0 styles?

## Initialized empty Git repository in /home/carles/styles1.0/styles/.git/ warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.

I guess that the frontend (like [Zotero Style Repository](http://www.zotero.org/styles)) can be done later.

Yes. It’s finals week here, so I just haven’t had the time for that step.

Yes, that’s the idea.

What are you suggesting exactly? Programatically generating an index page,  
and adding a bit of JavaScript magic?

BTW, if anyone wants permissions to play around with any of this, just send  
me a note with your github user name.

I just did this, but there are some details to need work:

1. I added some guidelines on CSL file naming, which are currently  
violated by a few styles

2. missing dependent styles I believe

3. I haven’t done anything about the URI issue I previously asked about

4. need to notify style editors and ask them to get set up on github

But I doubt I’ll be able to do much more on this until the first of  
the new year.

Best to everyone for the holidays,  
Bruce

Did you:

a) use the most recent update.xsl  
and  
b) take into account that the Zotero style repository contains some CSL 1.0  
styles (e.g. [http://www.zotero.org/styles/McGillv7/dev](http://www.zotero.org/styles/McGillv7/dev) )?

No. My time was really limited, so I need to find time soon to clean this  
up.
