Hi all,
We at Georgia Tech are happy to announce the release of ProveIt, our free, open source tool for finding, editing, adding, and citing references on Wikipedia. You can try out, install, or learn more about ProveIt here: http://proveit.cc.gatech.edu/
You may have seen our demo of an early version of ProveIt at WikiSym 2009, but this release is much improved on a number of fronts:
* greatly improved user interface and feature set * as a Wikipedia user script, it shows up whenever you log in to Wikipedia -- install once, use forever! * works in most browsers, including Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, and Opera * updates instantly and automatically
This release represents nearly two years of development by the ProveIt team -- congrats to all involved: Amy Bruckman, Matt Flaschen, Andrea Forte, Terris Johnson, and Chris Jordan.
Please give ProveIt a try and give us your feedback! We are excited to hear what you think and to respond to bug reports promptly. You can file a bug report at http://proveit.cc.gatech.edu/users/bugreport or email the team at proveit@cc.gatech.edu . If you are an OSS developer, please also check out our Google Code project at http://code.google.com/p/proveit-js/ -- we hope to start building a sustainable community around ProveIt.
Thanks so much for considering it!
