Noam,
This is brilliant.

Some of the project proposers are talking on Thursday with Kay Thaney of
Mozilla who runs the 2 day hack and this makes a truly wonderful hack
topic. It will get great exposure and we can count on Mozilla to help
spread what you have done. I don't have your email - and think it may be a
good idea to mail or have a skype in the next day or so.

My email is fairly easy to discover! peter.murray.rust at G

I've been saving JSTOR - it feels like a big deal to enable taming that particular beast.

Has there been any progress in creating a scraper for Taylor and Francis? I'm keen to scrape a T&F journal, and might have a go at writing a scraper, but don't want to duplicate work

It's on my list for next week! I forked the repo here

Great :-)

I actually started working on a T&F scraper tonight (I was bored...). I have a 'first go' at a scraper (see https://gist.github.com/robintw/2701f0f87b7232bd0f73e02b8333a841) which works on the few example articles I've tested it on.

(I haven't installed the proper testing framework yet - but it'll be interesting to see how it works on the list of test T&F URLs that I see you've added to your fork of the repo.
