History

Long ago some of this data started as an endnote/proprietary library file. Then it was a sente/proprietary library for a few years. Once in awhile some of the data would explore other possibilities (papers, zotero, citeulike, mendeley, bookends). But nothing quite fit the combination of truly open/non-proprietary and flexible/hackable/future proofable.

But then finally the data was freed. It turned into a plain text/open/future proof bibtex file. And there the data has lived happily for ten years. It has enjoyed being managed with the excellent open source BibDesk program long developed for os x/macos. Now it is managed by the equally powerful and feature rich jabref program, which is of course also open source but runs on any platform (a java application) including linux.
