So we’re pretty much migrated to github now, including issue trackers.

For example:

[https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/issues/#issue/7](https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/issues/#issue/7)

I think based on this evolving discussion that one option might be to  
keep the [zotero.org](http://zotero.org) ids stable, but to add additional information in  
the link elements. So perhaps APA becomes:

```
<id>http://www.zotero.org/styles/apa</id>

   <!-- here we includes the link to the particular file, with

```

content-type (is this correct?) --\>

```
   <!-- here I want to point to an HTML representation of the

```

style (for previews, comments, etc.); not sure the rel value  
also not sure how to deal with versioning here --\>

```
<link href="http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/"

```

rel=“documentation”/\>

Thoughts from the Zotero, Mendeley, etc. people? Feel free to post  
here, or better, on the github issue tracker.

Maybe we could even include a link for a preview?
