So prompted by the cool work over at zotero on citeproc-node, I’ve  
been exploring the node.js world recently. Pretty cool stuff.

To wit, for someone with a little more skill than I, and a bit of time  
(though I don’t think much), a challenge:

Basic idea is a super easy-to-install and use, high-performance,  
citation server based on citeproc-js.

I’m relying in that example on some higher level code (and the  
coffescript language, which compiles to clean js) to deal with the  
details (since I don’t understand them :-)).

Put it up on github with an open license.
