I will take it into account for the next release, it will take me some 
time to do something proper that will work with or without javascript 
and that will be configurable. (Personally, it is something I will 
disable). I have added a little change in the deletion of a 
bibliography. The bibliography is not removed but moved to 
./bibs/.trash. It will prevent the accidental lost of bibliographies 
:). It will be the biborb "administrator" job to "rm -fr" it.

I am not used to @string and @preamble. At the moment, biborb doesn't 
deal with these macros. I will have a look to see how they can be 
managed within biborb.

Well, you can configure the look in the config.php file by choosing an 
other CSS file. Creating a CSS-like editor for biborb is not really my 
aim but it may be a nice feature.


I encountered some troubles in savannah, the CVS snapshot is back to 
http://perso.numericable.fr/ggardey/biborb-CVS.tar.gz as well as 
biborb-1.2pre.tar.gz.

I bring some little modification to the interface and add some 
documentation (available by clicking each first menus).
I also fix a bug that causes groups to disappear when removing an entry.
