I put up an update about bibsoup just last week, so if you are looking for
timely information on recent changes and future plans, have a look here:
http://openbiblio.net/2013/01/11/a-revamp-of-bibserver-and-bibsoup/
I would also be happy to represent the academic or developer community if
you are looking for volunteers.
