h1. Bibliography Ongoing Review Notes

(20110627, rev commit:9867ed78c4c1)

* Logged in to test site

* Navigated to project I manage ("Weevilmatic":http://test.soundsoftware.ac.uk/cannam/projects/weevilmatic) -- observed no Bibliography link by default

* Switched on bibliography in settings -- observed link appeared

* Navigated to Bibliography

* Used Add Publication

* Entered title, first author name, institution

* Used Add Another Author to add another couple of authors

* Tried Add Me As Author: *AJAX error* @Missing template publications/_authorships_fields.erb@

* Saved changes: success (despite error still visible on page)

* Navigated to Bibliography: publication now listed

* Clicked on publication: details shown correctly

* Clicked on Edit: *404 shown* (for /cannam/publications/1/edit)

* Clicked on View All: *404 shown* (for /cannam/publications)

* Clicked on Destroy: Javascript confirmation shown, I cancelled it (wanted to test something else first)

* Typed some text into the Add Project field at right: project ("Beetroot":http://test.soundsoftware.ac.uk/cannam/projects/beatroot) successfully found by text search

* Selected project, clicked Add: both projects now shown at right

* Clicked through to the second project

* Noted that the publication is now associated with this project and is displayed as such on the project's front page *even though the project does not have the Bibliography module enabled* (and consequently has no Bibliography nav link)

* Clicking on the publication in this project displays the publication Show page, with the correct project's header

* Clicked on Destroy: Javascript confirmation shown, I confirmed it: *404 shown* (for /cannam/publications/1)

Conclusions:

* Adding a publication to a project appears to work, the workflow "feels" roughly right (of course the details will need tidying)

* Associating authors with users (including "me") is not possible yet

* There is no way to view a publication outside a project scope (no overall list of publications)

* Anyone can add a publication to any project, by "adding the project" to the existing publication -- you don't have to be a member of the added project and the project doesn't have to have Bibliography enabled to do this (probably needs some careful thought here)

* Actions associated with publication show page (Edit, Destroy, View All) don't work yet (do we want a link to destroy a publication completely, or only to disassociate it from this project?  Or both, in different places?  We certainly don't want to make it too easy to destroy a publication that is associated with other people's projects)
