Don't worry about stepping on toes. If someone else does something  
better, it is always good to know. However, this one-click  
installation thing may be appropriate for a GUI program or for a  
browser-add-on like Zotero. I haven't seen that many Unix command line  
applications that support one-click installations of add-ons. I guess  
it is somehow contrary to the philosophy of these tools. But that  
doesn't mean we couldn't add some convenience to the style  
installation. Right now you just need to run "refdba -C addstyle  
<file>" after downloading the style which isn't that hard either. But  
we could add a little script which detects new styles in the directory  
and adds them automatically. This way, you'd just have to drop them in  
the appropriate directory.

regards,
Markus
