After the meeting, Ziko and I were talking about bibliographies. In brief, the present situation is a mess and it need to be fixed.
However, it is not just one time task, but a constant one. And it is needed that a couple of us take care about it. So, I've added it to the "Areas of interest" list [1].
We need a kind of structured data format, which would be possible to search and query. There should be some software for that purpose and it would be good to set it up. Probably not as "bibliography.wikimedia.org" (as it should be used for bibliography for Wikimedia projects), but something similar.
I suppose that some of you know about the best practices related to the archiving bibliographic data, but if we don't have anyone with solid experience, we can ask Kat or Phoebe (AFAIK, both of them are librarians) or we can find someone else.

Hello,
Until a better solution, we may stick to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Research_Bibliography and ask people to put their entries at least to that list.
Kind regards Ziko

Ziko,
I'll post a few proposals in the coming days with ideas on how to manage the bibliography. If we were to use a collaborative reference manager it would be so much easier to export references in a variety of formats (bibtex, EndNote, plain text) as well as embed the bibliography in a wiki page via the API.

Hi Dario,
does this mean you plan to couple wiki in some way with something like CiteULike/Mendeley, JabRef or Zotero? That would be great! AcaWiki is a step in this direction, and its integration with Zotero may be of interest here: http://acawiki.org/User:Benjamin_Mako_Hill/Zotero_integration.
