Bluebook style? #14

Open rmzelle opened 8 years ago

rmzelle commented 8 years ago

What was the deal with https://github.com/zotero/styles-repo/blob/master/include/bluebook-19th.csl again? I can't even find this version in the repo right now: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=bluebook. I recall Frank asked to have it removed from the central CSL VCS at some point. @fbennett? @adam3smith?

Yeah, I raised a flag about BB out of am excess of sensitivity, but I think the consensus was that it was okay to stay. IIRC though that particular version was not of very good quality.

adam3smith commented 8 years ago

so what I'd like to do, mainly as a political act, is to go ahead and code a high quality version of Baby Blue. We could just put that out instead. Or, if we want to be cheeky, make Bluebook a dependent style of it. :P

Juris-M would be a better fit, for the extended fields and item types, and to handle jurisdiction variants.

adam3smith commented 8 years ago

yeah, but also a more significant time investment and visible to a smaller audience, so there's a trade-off.

It should work okay if you limit cases to the US Supreme Court, and statutes to the US Code.

That'd be great. We could even put "(US Code)" or something into the title to indicate its limitations?

Well, I was exaggerating just a bit there ... actually, if the style front matter could include a pointer to Juris-M, it would be very helpful. JM no longer modifies the Zotero DB, so users would not be trapped if they decide to go back.

adam3smith commented 8 years ago

I'll certainly keep pointing to juris-m at every opportunity (including in the style summary, sure) and as you know it will remain the only way to go for full legal support for certainly the near future. And I'd be happy to collaborate on a juris-m version -- but whereas I can just grab a bottle of wine and do this in vanilla CSL in an evening, csl-m would take me more like a weekend...
