* diff with this commit shows just three small changes made when initially opening and re-writing the omega.bib bibtex file with jabref. * jabref added a utf encoding msg on first line * jabref added a short config comment on last line * converted and rewrote fields for an old Seung:2000 reference---this one had a field called 'ps' (something inherited from endnote/medline import 18 years ago!) which jabref doesn't like as ps and pdf are old deprecated field names for external files. So that field was changed slightly by jabref. I also changed the Bdsk-Url-1 reference to a doi field for jabref to use.

History
Long ago some of this data started as an endnote/proprietary library file. Then it was a sente/proprietary library for a few years. Once in awhile some of the data would explore other possibilities (papers, zotero, citeulike, mendeley, bookends). But nothing quite fit the combination of truly open/non-proprietary and flexible/hackable/future proofable.
But then finally the data was freed. It turned into a plain text/open/future proof bibtex file. And there the data has lived happily for ten years. It has enjoyed being managed with the excellent open source BibDesk program long developed for os x/macos. Now it is managed by the equally powerful and feature rich jabref program, which is of course also open source but runs on any platform (a java application) including linux.
