[Mitgcm-support] bibtex in documentation

[mitgcm-support at dev.mitgcm.org]

I've started a bibtex file for the documentation.
To keep the citation keys as comprehensible (i.e. non-random)
as possible, I've adopted the following conventions:

1. Name abbreviations has first three letters
   (except when name is shorter).
2. Single author paper (Laurel, 1999):                  lau:99
   exception: Li, 1999:                                 li:99
3. Double author paper (Laurel & Hardy, 2001):          lau-har:01
4. Multiple names (Laurel, Hardy, Adcroft, Hill, 2003): lau-eta:03
   (eta = et al.)
5. Multiple names of same year:                         lau-eta:03a
                                                        lau-eta:03b
6. If ambiguity in 3-character abbrev., add 4th caracter:
   Marshall, Laurel, Hardy, 1950                        mars-eta:50
   Marotzke, Chaplin, Keaton, 1950                      maro-eta:50

I think, those conventions are fairly straightforward,
cover pretty much, and easy to remember and to follow.

Objections, any?

P.
