Hello there,

while doing research (my current topic is the influences on a spacecraft during straight-up ascent) I found a giant wealth of documents and other information, online and offline. Technical reports of NASA and other US agencies, books and journal articles, web sites. American, European (most not in English) hell, even Soviet/Russian* documents are out there. There are literally thousands of them.

Any idea on how to share them efficiently? I propose a BiBTeX-File in the repository that can be read/edited with software like jabref, and regular exports into html format, for example.

A short collection of works I'm reading right now or am about to read can, for example, be found here:

Find American documents for example here:

http://trs-new.jpl.nasa.gov/dspace/

http://www.everyspec.com/

http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/…..asadoc.htm

*Note: interesting enough, the Russians never cite Western literature, neither does the Western science world (of course everyone cites von Braun and Tsiolkovsy). It's very interesting to see differently grown approaches and especially to compare them!

Btw, what about a list of all of our documents? Maybe a wiki page, and add them to our database?

We do have a very rough system in place for this, at least with regards to CLLARE.  Each CLLARE Workgroup has its own Suggested Reading list, linked to from its main apge.  Maybe the most complete one, and hence a good example, is the NGW Suggested Reading page.  We could always create such a page for OHKLA.  It would then be easy to have a master page in the Wiki which simply included all the individual pages in a sensible order.  Do you think this would be an adequate solution?

Main CLLARE workgroups: Mission Planning, Navigation and Guidance. I do maths, physics, C, Python and Java.

A BibTex database has the benefit that it:

a) has very complete information on the documents. The HTML page I exported from my .bib only lists about half the info I've got on each entry.

b) can be easily cited in LaTeX/LyX and even Word if you wanted to.

c) is very well searchable .
