About Bibwiki
Bibwiki offers a interface to manage bibliographies. Bibwiki is a Special: page where you can collect your bibliographic records. The bibliographies itself are stored a in plain text files in BibTeX format. In contrast to other programs, Bibwiki alters the bibliographic files directly. There's no need to import or export bibliographic information into or from a seperate database.

I made Bibwiki to manage my bibliographic database files and link my bibliographic records to excerpts, notes, annotations or outlines and vice versa. Those texts and snippets are stored as ordinary pages or articles in Mediawiki.

Many web-based bibliographic interfaces store their data in database tables in an arbitrary format. This is useful and time-saving if there are millions of records in use by a thousands of people. But I think it's unnecessary and awkward when you just want to manage your private bibliography.

Name confusion
This is not to be confused with the http://www.bibwiki.com project, which is a more tailored approach to managing bibliographies in a wiki.
