SOFTWARE WATCH | Bibliographies for the Penguin Faithful

EndNote, the commercial bibliographic management program, has been a godsend to scientists, provided they work on PCs or Macs. Those who depend on Linux are out of luck--or at least, they were. Now Pybliographer (www.pybliographer.org), from French programmer Frederic Gobry, is trying to fill the void.

The software helps researchers who use Linux-based systems to manage bibliographic databases. Pybliographer allows them to search, add, annotate, import, and edit bibliographic records. When it comes time to actually write a paper, material can be automatically transferred from Pybliographer into LyX, the Linux-based document processor. "We're working on Open Office [the leading open-source office-productivity suite] compatibility--that's on our wish list," says Gobry. But with only two other programmers on the project, all of them coding in their spare time, progress is slow.

The program was written in the Python programming language as a console application ...
