Hi,

I am looking for a bibliography manager that runs on both WinXP and 
Linux environments. In WinXP the bibliography manager must be able to 
inter-operate with MS Office 2003. In Linux, its must be compatible with 
BibTeX and openOffice. Ideally, I must be able to move my bibliography 
database back and forth between Linux and WinXP without changing 
anything (close to just copying the ref db file). A BibTeX-based 
bibliography manager thats compatible with MS Office 2003 and openOffice 
will exactly match what I need. I work in both WinXP and Linux 
environments to facilitate collaboration with others who are mainly 
WinXP users.

Although openOffice has an inbuilt refence database , I do not find it 
easy to use as a reference manager. A user-friendly reference manager 
for openOffice (http://www.openoffice.org/) seems to be still an 
on-going project (http://bibliographic.openoffice.org/). 

Any pointers and suggestions.
