Things on this page aren't neccesarily consensus, just things people listed as tech wishlist.


  • upgrade WordPress!

  • Seperate author names in individual fields in db, for better metadata generation. (Then make export of DOAJ metadata use it, to make it a fully automated process!)
  • PDF of individual article
