Hey everyone!
This email is invite you to participate and provide feedback on a proposal
that User:Diegodlh and myself (User:Scann) have put forward.
The proposal is to build Web2Cit: Visual Editor for Citoid Web
Translators, a tool to help non-technical users create and edit Citoid web
translators to increase website coverage of this citation metadata
retrieval service.
Probably many of you have experienced that when using the visual editor and
pasting a URL, sometimes the information doesn't come through correctly
(for example, when trying to cite a newspaper or another website). This is
caused by different issues in the services that are retrieving that
information in the backend. Our proposal aims to solve some of those issues
by allowing the community to give input in the services that are running in
the backend.
Please, if you are interested, take a minute to review the proposal and
give feedback:

If you are interested, you can also sign up for being a volunteer for the
proposal if it gets funded.
cheers,
scann
