I am still working on papers, so there hasn’t been much time to think about anything interestingly new. However, I would like to mention something that would make life much easier.

I think it would be an awesome addition to the field of philosophy to develop the equivalent of the AMS’s MathSciNet for philosophical publications. Not only does MathSciNet provide reviews of papers and books in a centralized place, it also provides for the exportation of references and abstracts. Seeing as most of my papers use Bibtex for reference management, a centralized service for philosophical papers with the ability to export a Bibtex reference would be far superior to the Google Scholar/manual entry method I have to use at the moment.

Granted, getting something like MathSciNet off the ground for philosophy would be amazingly difficult, but it might be worth it.
