1. About
--------

This is the source code for debcite, a citation retrieval engine to make 
retrieving evidence from the public wiki for intercollegiate policy debates 
easier and more efficient. It parses shorthand citations and uses a variety 
of techniques, including the Google and Yahoo search APIs, to try to 
retrieve the full text of the evidence being cited.

It's written in PHP and JavaScript with MySQL, and the primary implementation 
is at http://www.jpwright.net/debcite
