Frank is a gentleman and a saint. The quality of Frank’s (and Bruce and Rintze’s) production in CSL and the citeproc-js processor is paid tribute by the sheer number of other reference manager programs that have adopted it – and frankly would be the poorer without it.
We researchers owe you one.
Thank you!

Hooray for Frank! I’m impressed by your work on CSL and multilingual Zotero.

I look forward to your legal research and writing guide. I’ve had faculty inquire about Bluebook and many students are using Chicago Manual. The undergrads are used to using a popular data entry software product my library subscribes to—a great product for beginners; however, they need to annotate their bibliographies. Since Chicago uses the note form (14.283), the subscription product places the legal entries as a note – the students cannot use the product to generate their annotated bibliography! I contacted the company and they cited Chicago Manual 14.283; there is no work around. I use Zotero for my own research (& refer upperclassmen, grad students and faculty to it). I used Zotero’s support posts to allow my annotations to display for MLA as I prepare an annotated bibliography (required a minor code change). Request: please keep annotation display in mind for scholars. Again, I highly anticipate your guide.

I have had the pleasure of conversing with Frank about how to improve Zotero. He has been a huge help, and I appreciate his enthusiasm and dedication.
