I try to develop a way to annotate my articles using doc-view, ebib and org-mode capture templates. I have little experience in elisp and shamelessly ask if someone can develop a function (of show the way for it). The function should run from emacs search in a pre-loaded ebib database by one bibtex field (file in my case ) and return bibkey (or other field) of corresponding record. I hope it is not complex thing to do. Thanks. Petro ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.

So the "normal" thing to do is to just set up a new branch, work on whatever feature one wants to implement, test it, and if it's finished, merge it into master. BTW, with git, the usual way to contribute code is to clone the repo, set up a new topic branch, make the change/addition, and then send the maintainer a pull request. S/he can then pull in your topic branch and examine the code. Github makes this process a bit easier even, because you can simply fork someone else's repository and create new branches in the forked repo. And when you're ready to send a pull request, you just click a button on the website. If you have a github account, that would be my preferred way of collaboration. Otherwise, you can send your patches to me, of course. :-) J. </pre> Joost Kremers 2012-09-01T23:21:31 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.ebib.user/222 <pre>[database connectivity] Yes, that's one reason why I was thinking about Zotero. Zotero actually encourages external projects connecting to its server. There's an official, published API: &lt;http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/server_api&gt;. Furthermore, it's a well-established, open-source reference management system, that connects to various online databases, so Ebib wouldn't have to track all of those. The main disadvantage is that I currently don't really have the time to delve into all of that. Zotero is (unfortunately ;-) not written in Elisp, nor is its API, so it would definitely require a bit of time to get into it and to learn how it all works...

Reloading the file is easy to implement, that's just another command. Checking for a file change would require keeping track of the file's state when it's opened, or at least the time when it's opened and then comparing that with the latest modification time when the user edits the file. It's doable, of course, but I'd have to think about the best way to implement it. Actually, it would be very easy if Ebib would just load the .bib file in a buffer and operate on that. Then Emacs would keep track of changes. The thing is that Ebib doesn't do that... It opens the .bib file, reads its contents and stores in in a hash table, and then closes the buffer again.

I should have looked more carefully. Section "Editing the Database", subsection "Adding and Deleting Entries", para 3. One use case where this might be useful is if I'm working with a collaborator on a paper, and the files are shared (e.g. through Dropbox). If a co-author changes a bib file, it would be nice to be able to reload quickly. For ordinary tex files, emacs prompts me whether I should revert-buffer. Something similar for ebib... If I can put something quick and dirty together, will circulate for feedback.
