'hackery'? Does this suggest you might have some suggestions for schema tweaks? Some of the rules are specific to this course, so I don't think its worth releasing it as there is a substantial amount of hackery required to get it to work (abusing certain fields to get citations working correctly). This course has its own weird rules, but has some Harvard like syntax. I've done a custom format for an open university course I'm on (A251) although most of mine are S courses. Am I really to assume the Zotero team isn't working on any styles?įor the record, I have started on Bluebook, and have made incremental progress. Second, I've asked a twice recently for people to state somewhere what styles they're working on, but I've not heard anything from anyone but codec. Obviously the xbib repo has these characteristics, and I've been happy to give people write access to it (though I wonder if a more distributed SCM like mercurial is more appropriate for style development).

It would be easier if you loaded styles as individual files (rather than embedded in a SQL file) in a repository I have both read and write access to, so that I can more easily help improve the style(s), and then just link to there. Is there not one definitive reference for Harvard? Googling suggests perhaps not, but it would be nice if we could clarify ideally one 'Harvard' style.įirst, manually downloading and copying-and-pasting files is too much hassle for my busy life.
