Just to follow up and say:

a) docs look great -- think long design overview can probably become a
nice series of blog posts ...

b) going forward I would like to suggest that we try and put more of
this kind of discussion on public lists, in particular:

  * open-bibliography [1]: for general announces and discussion of the
project plus consultation on specific biblio issues
  * okfn-help [2]: for day to day discussion of coding issues etc (if
volume is sufficient we may move to a dedicated mailing list)

[1]: http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/open-bibliography
[2]: http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/okfn-help

I have also created:

  * bibliographica at okfn.org email alias which can be used as contact address
  * bibliographica account on twitter (may have no need of this for the moment)
