Can you send me some examples? The import function comes from the
Bibliophile project, I will see if the new release solves these problems
and patch it if needed.

I will have a look, thanks.

I haven't thought about it yet. Since classification is something really
depending on people organization, subgroups may also be not sufficient.
However, it looks like the only "good" solution... if someone has some
ideas about another way to do it, don't hesitate to share your point of
view...

The import of Endnote files is available in the CVS release, but not
really tested since Endnote isn't used in my research area. I will be
highly interested if you have some real example files.

or from other web services :). This isn't scheduled yet, but I will
certainly choose to code a kind of plugin system to enable the access to
different bibliographic services.

I still use it, but the project is more in a sleeping state at the
moment... but I won't let it die! :)

All the best
