[biblio] Bibliography Module

Appears to now have scattered development :(

Paraphrasing the referenced thread (#2456591: Drupal 8 port)

Biblio proper
No activity, even with many users offering donations

Third party port, minimal activity

Bibliography & Citation

https://www.drupal.org/project/bibcite

Active maintainers, and no recorded bugs, albeit only 31 sites report using it from 2,410 downloads or 1.3% uptake which is not optimistic... [Biblio is also low at 6%, but many more releases that count as downloads]

Is this project essentially dead? I work in research at a University and a number of my users rely on Biblio on their Drupal 7 sites. I'm trying to start doing new projects in Drupal 8, but this is a hard stop for a lot of my users. Is there another module that I should be using instead?

Our product, an educational one, also uses biblio. We currently have around 4,500 references that we generated with this module. It will make it extremely difficult to maintain these references unless this module or one similar can be used.

It looks like there is a D8 module with similar functionality:
https://www.drupal.org/project/bibcite
This new module isn't a port of the D7 module, and most likely has no migration path from D7. Perhaps you could export from D7 and import into D8 though, since both modules seem to support export and import?

similar ideas, generally has cleaner code, but is lacking most of the functionality and significant critical bugs in various places (I was testing in March)

BibCite uses custom entities rather than nodes, this both good and bad points to this. From memory, BibCite doesn't have revision support

I am putting together an educational grant and would REALLY love to be able to include biblio update support. It's just invaluable for the kinds of databases I'd like to build.

My questions for the community are:

--if there was funding (Max $3000, sorry, it's education) do you think that might help move things forward?

--I see a lot of discussion on porting to 8, but....not a lot of movement. Who really wants to take this on? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Heads up, bibcite does have a migration path from biblio, bibcite_migrate. It's mentioned in the Drupal 8 issue thread above.

Thanks for the heads up! when I first read this it didn't sound like it was the same as biblio:

It looks like there is a D8 module with similar functionality:
https://www.drupal.org/project/bibcite
This new module isn't a port of the D7 module, and most likely has no migration path from D7.

Looking at the documentation for the new D8 module, there have been several new commits in the last month, so I'm feeling a bit more confident about it:

Thanks for prompting me to dig deeper!

The solution to this is to use bibcite and bibcite_migrate.

As there is not going to be a Drupal 8 version of this and you need to migrate to bibcite, set to Closed(Duplicate).
