Webdav mounting
http://www.citeulike.org/groupforum/336
It would be *great* if it were possible to mount one's citeulike library via webdav. Specifically, I would like to be able to mount a folder that contains a bibtex file containing my full citeulike library.
I do this with an alternative online bibliography system, and it allows me to directly use my online bibtex database in my bibtex documents without having to do manual exports all the time. Very handy!

Shouldn't be a nightmare. They have already implemented bibtex export. All that is needed now is a way to have this appear to be a single file in available in a webdav collection.

It's easy to give other people work, though ;-).

Ahh windows. Its available on the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/">mac</a> and it looks like there are a few folks trying to port it to windows (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.suchwerk.net/sodcms_FUSE_for_WINDOWS.htm">.net version</a> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/misc/BidRequests/ShowBidRequest.asp?lngBidRequestId=586300">rentacoder</a> , <a rel="nofollow" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/winfuse">sourceforge</a> ) - some more successful as others. I imagine making the whole of citeulike in a filemountable system (webdav or other) is a bit of a nightmare - remember that its in a database not flat files..

Thanks for the pointers.
</p>
<p>
fuse looks to be linux-specific, and I'm on windows, unfortunately.
</p>
<p>
synculike looks cool - although not quite what I'm after.
</p>
<p>
Implementing the webdav access server side would seem to be the best option (for what I want). Let's hope there's a library that can be used to make doing so easy. I don't know anything about tcl, though, so can't really help or comment on how feasible it is.

Nice idea. See <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.citeulike.org/groupforum/312?highlight=2675#msg_2675">synculike</a> for something similar-ish
</p>
<p>
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://fuse.sourceforge.net/">fuse</a> may be a better idea however - someone *could* perhaps build a fuse library that maps a citeulike library to a filesystem object (perhaps by using the rss feed)
