* The construction of a Bibtex entry looks error prone. Having a web
page that can construct an entry from input would be good.
I think I would go one step further - we should have a conf file generator
somewhere.

I think this is an excellent idea! I wish I could write it because it
would make module submission easier.
I wonder, though, if what we need in the conf file is not a record that
would be used in a bibliographic database such as BibTeX but rather what
library catalogs have. If we chose a format that was pretty common
(i.e., that a prominent/visible library uses, such as the U.S. Library
of Congress) then bibliographic software that sucks that information
from websites would support it. That would include everything from
EndNote to Zotero, I would think. I am not sure how open such standards
are or how easy they are to implement, but the input of conf file
entries might be more accurately entered through a web form with files
like Title, Author, Editor, Place of Publication, Publisher, Date of
Publication, etc. If that web form then had a place to upload a source
file (OSIS or whatever) then it would be easier to ensure that conf
files were well-structured and consistent. Just a thought.
