Our development phases are roughly outlined below – as we move through them, they are fleshed out via our code repository issues list, and ideas are supported by our wikis and published on our blog. A full resource list can be found at http://openbiblio.net/p/jiscopenbib.

Phase 5 – In progress

• UI editability onto REST API
• Stand-alone aysnc parse API
• Integration with PDcalc
• Demos of curated collections
• Available as a service
• Help others write more parsers
• Community exposure – videos, screencasts, blog posts, events
• Documentation – move to public readthedocs

Phase 4 – Complete

• UI improvements
• Parse from more sources
• Demonstrations of collection creation (incl. scraperwiki example)
• Stabilise on v0.4 running on public demo, with dev continued on separate instance
• This forms the first phase of work as part of the funded JISC Open Biblio 2 project

Phase 3 – Complete

• Get BibServer code to the stage where it can be used in further projects or in production
• Get further funding for continued work
• Partially done, extending into Open Biblio 2 project

Phase 2 – Complete

• By end July 2011, replicate the original functionality with the new service at the test site
• Have the prototype service up and running for others to try out
• Develop the supporting material required to enable others to install their own instances
• Demonstrate converting from other formats and sources into BibJSON
• Demonstrate how to write converters for other formats

Phase 1 – Complete

• Start a BiBServer software repository, and salvage any useful parts from the original code
• Prototype a simple version of BibJSON format
• Demonstrate conversion from BibTex do BibJSON
