Bug#470887: RFP: bibus -- bibliographic and reference management software



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

  Package name    : bibus
  Version         : 1.4.1
  Upstream Author : Pierre Martineau <pmartino@users.sourceforge.net>
  URL             : http://bibus-biblio.sourceforge.net
  License         : GPL-2+
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description     : bibliographic and reference management software

 Bibus is a bibliographic database entirely written in python
 that uses the cross-platform wxWidget library.
 Bibus has been developed with OpenOffice.org
 (http://www.openoffice.org/) in mind and can directly
 insert citations and format the bibliographic index in an
 opened Openoffice.org writer document.

Personnal comment: As a user, I really like Bibus. I find it easier to use and
more stable than its proprietary competitor, EndNote.

Upstream author is responsive and packaged Bibus as a Debian native pacakge. In
the following SourceForge bug, he invites people to finish the work and make
bibus an official Debian package.

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=657832&aid=1913312&group_id=110943

By the way, the packager would probably have to help solving that bug...

Have a nice day,
