New user and questions :-)

Hi everyone,

I've followed refdb improvement for years (the first time i saw the 
project was in 2000 IIRC) and i'm now finding time to finally use it.

I'm going to produce RPMs for Mandriva so you'll soon find them on 
mirros (at least for cooker on a first time, then for 2006 and 2005) in 
order to allow more users to use it.

So first i want to thank the developpers for this wonderful idea and 
implementation.

Second :-)
1 - is there a normalised way to fill in the database from existing PDF 
files ? To be clear : i have a collection of articles (more than 450) 
and presumably other colleagues have even or more ... For the moment, i 
cannot link these publications to any refenreces (pdfinfo on each file 
is far from being informative) so before using refDB, i need to link 
those PDFs to their respective database information (authors, abstract, 
keywords, ...).
I've searched on the documentation, on the web also and haven't found a 
way to do it in a clever script or code.

Does refDB has such tool ?
If not, can someone indicate me any tool could be appropriate to 
pre-filter the medline info + pdf ?

2 - Is there a know interface for OpenOffice.org 2.0 communications 
(i've used by the past pybliographer+lyx, but i'd rather working 
bibus+OOo) ?

Thanks a lot in advance for comments and suggestions,

Stéphane
