DIY: Extending Papers...
SDK
The Papers plugin Software Development Kit is an opensource software package that helps you to get started with programming your own Papers plugins. Finally, you can add the functionality to Papers that you have been waiting for so long. Generate plugins that are automatically downloaded from the internet and dynamically loaded, without restarting Papers. We invite everyone to download the SDK and contribute in improving Papers. You can create your own importers and exporters and custom search engines. Make Papers even better! | Download SDK>>

This SDK contains all the files to develop Papers plugins in no-time, from simple importers to fancy internet-based interfaces to websites like Connotea and CiteUlike.

The Papers plugin SDK has been developed together with John Timmer from the Sloan-Kettering Institute, New York USA. Both the framework and sample plugins are released under the Creative Commons Non-commercial Attribution license. Use for the creation of plugins for both free public distribution and private use is highly encouraged. If you need any assistance while coding your own master piece, don't hesitate to contact us!
