PubMan release 3.8

 * status
 * testing of migration PubMan 3.5 to PubMan 3.8 - Should work for prod after bugfix
 * delivery date and feature agreement
 * important for live demonstrations on Section meetings KW 43 (23-24.10.2008) to provide feedback and for external communication
 * must be: 05-06.11.2008 (PubMan days)

Outcome

 * Development team agreed on feature-release 3.8 to dev-qa
 * Features:
 * Copy/Paste authors - Done
 * arxiv fetch (md+ft) - Done
 * bibtex export+unapi implementation - Done
 * autosuggest journals - Done
 * autosuggest languages - Done
 * new citation style (?) - implementation is not ready, still functional issues (almost ready for testing)
 * links to REST friendly interfaces for both searchAndOutput and validation Service - done
 * eventually: export enabled from depositor workspace - Done
 * organization search and export - Done
 * check with Michael on REST friendly interfaces to CV service for language, journal names - done
 * check with Rike on link to interface descriptions of UnApi from home page - done
 * Overall impression: to add the links for now on the PubMan Home page, with each functionality and separately (under services heading). GUI V4 should think properly of home page structure and information.
 * Bugs - 1 minor for showroom left
