CitationStyleManager
Discussion on how to proceed further with the citation manager and what do we get/loose but not using actual styles from Zotero? Robert noted that Zotero is working with Firefox (>=2.0) only but it will not be problematic to re-write the JavaScript csl-processing engine to be run on a server. However we are not certain from functional aspects of our citation, as CSL citation style definition poorer than the Citation metadata from our metadata set that we currently use. In addition adopting the CSL would mean we have to still be restricted on e.g. adding new metadata, new genres etc. as CSL is a kind of "metadata set" on its own.

Discussion to remove JasperReports specific functions from the Style definition. Vlad already has some ideas on it.

EndNoteExport Manager
Discussion on renaming EndNoteExport Manager to simply ExportManager that will deal with corresponding XSLTs for specific export formats as the current implementation really has nothing specific with only EndNoteExport Manager but the XSLT in use.

Accepted: for next release we should do this in case it really turns to be no problem Vlad's proposal: will try BibTex export in addition for R2

Development process
Presentation given and discussed about changing the current development process. As DevTeam agreed in general it's worth to try it - we need a consensus from the Functional Team. There will be additional meeting with Functional Team as well.

Presentation is available in SVN Development process

Note: A draft that needs a bit more polishing.
